The Story of Taxi Gratis Association

About Us

In 2013, Alex Bobes founded Taxi Gratis Association from the desire to help people with medical and financial problems access the medical services they need.

Alex Bobes - The Founder

Alex Bobes, founder and president of Taxi Gratis Association, founded the organization in 2013 after personal experience with his mother's medical transport problems.

"When I saw the difficulties my mother faced getting to the hospital, I realized there are many people in similar situations who cannot afford medical transport," says Alex.

This is how the idea of a free transport service for people with medical and financial problems was born.
