A group of about 30 taxi’s parked on the tram tracks heading towards Central, and lent to their horns to annoy all around. Most drivers sat in their cars eating lunch, when asked why they were there “My manager (the person who owns/manages the taxi and its licence) told me to come” Based on the previous protest, I asked the drivers “Are you getting paid $400 to come here”.”No, it’s $500″ confirmed two drivers.

Unsurprisingly when I tried to take photos of those organising the taxi protest, they tried to avoid the camera and refused to answer the question “How many drivers are here without being paid to come?”
