Be careful with traffic jams: this is how the taxi driver strike is progressing at this time

53

The country lives a new day of mobilization, this time on behalf of the union of taxi drivers who will take to the streets to demonstrate for various reasons, including the increase in the price of gasoline.

It should be remembered that the Government proposed to increase the price of the fares that are charged to passengers, but according to the taxi drivers, this does not solve the problem, since, they commit this, they confer the problem on the users, who when seeing the increase of the prices do not use the service.
