Taxi drivers were on strike for
the fifth consecutive day on Monday.
The protest is in response to an amendment in the so-called
Milleproroghe decree that the drivers say will favour favour
smartphone app-based car transport company Uber and unfair
competition from unauthorized operators.
Taxi services will continue to be offered to and from
hospitals and for the disabled.
Taxi unions are set to meet Transport Minister Graziano
Delrio Tuesday.
