Perhaps they should also consider cancelling the contracts of their administrators and managers who no doubt contributed to the 1.6 billion euros loss in 2021.

Great idea Greg! Then could actually repay the many millions of refunds they have promised to riders that never got them. When your company is reorganizing from heavy debt WHY would they even consider a new fleet of luxury cars? Do they know how to balance a checkbook at home? Bad business and a very bad reputation they need to change and quickly and it shouldn't still even be on the table until ALL debts are paid; you don't buy caviar when you're eating only once a day!
