Taxi drivers were back at work
on Wednesday in Rome, Milan, and Turin, after a six-day wildcat
strike, but misery for commuters in the capital continued with a
bus and metro strike.
The taxi drivers abandoned their protests against measures
they said would help Uber after labour unions and Italian
Transport Minister Graziano Delrio reached an agreement on
Tuesday evening.
Protests on Tuesday in Rome, which street vendors angered by
measures to limit their activities also took part in, caused
massive disruption and were marred by violence.
Several people were injured and four detained.
Wednesday's four-hour public transport strike led to the
closure of the A line of the Rome metro, while services on the B
line were cut and many bus and tram lines suffered reductions.
