Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi on
Tuesday told taxi drivers on the sixth day of a wildcat strike
against measures they say would help Uber and unfair competition
from unauthorized operators that she was on their side. "We are
with you," Raggi, a member of the anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S), told a group of taxi drivers. "Non-line public
transport is a fundamental service for us. It is the city's
calling card and it must be regulated in a clear way. It can be
improved but we don't like reforms imposed from above and they
certainly complicate the whole system".
