Taxis protest, stop work over ‘pro-Uber’ measures
Roughly 1,000 taxi drivers stage a spontaneous sit-in near Palazzo Madama, the seat of the Italian Senate, in Rome, Italy, 16 February 2017. Taxi drivers in Rome, Milan and Turin crossed their arms on Thursday in protest ahead of a Senate vote on a package of measures which they say could favour smartphone app-based car transport company Uber. The protest was said to have also spread to Rome’s Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, where only very few official white cabs were reported to be in service. ANSA/CLAUDIO PERI
