“Everyday first thing in the morning, when it’s good weather even more so. When it’s raining or its cloudy they may not come, but as soon as the sun starts to shine they start coming up the street.”
13. Tuk-tuks coming up the street
14. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Rosa Alves, 78-year-old local resident:
“If it wasn’t too much I think is alright because everybody needs to work, but there needs to be some kind of control, without any control, it becomes a mess. They stop here and there and then one car wants to leave and they need to wait for the driver of the tuk tuk to come to take it out, because there are too many cars.”

16. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Rosa Alves, 78-year-old local resident:

22. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Francisca Gonçalves, 21-year-old tuk-tuk driver:
“There are many tuk-tuks within the city, it is true, we see that. The truth is that it even affects our work, the more tuk-tuks the more competition, specially now that we feel there is less demand, less people. So, it complicates our own life, but I think the way they are handling the situation is not the most appropriate one.”
23. Wide of Lisbon City hall
24. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Filipe Anacoreta Correia, Deputy Mayor of Lisbon:
“We will implement a new rulebook, we want to do this with the sector and not against them. Our aim is to reduce the number of tuk tuks within the public space to around half.”
25. Tuk tuk
26. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Filipe Anacoreta Correia, Deputy Mayor of Lisbon:
“So this appears to be a solution that allows to conciliate what is important – to safeguard an economic activity that the tourists enjoy, of course. But at the same time to balance it with the interests of a city which is a city, where people live in and need to live, with balance, peace, quality of life and we need to respect one another.”
