New anti-Uber protest by taxi drivers

DOZENS of taxi drivers began a “day of action” against Uber on  Wednesday, March 22, with a caravan of protesters driving from Avenida Balboa to Plaza Cinco de Mayo  to block  Ave de Matires, causing widespread traffic jams.

The t xistas leader, Rafael Reyes, said that was  the beginning of a day of protests, to defend the source of their daily sustenance.

Reyes said  that taxi drivers have professional licenses, and insurance, certification of operations, unlike Uber.

“There is no respect for legal certainty in the country,” he complained.
