Individual taxi drivers gathered in front of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communication building today with the same
demand. They don’t want to put meters or yellow license plates.
The taxi drivers remained without a reply for a long time and then
decided to continue their protest by sitting on the curb.
"How can I go home without any money? I don’t have a job anymore. What
kind of government keeps an eye on taxi drivers’ money?" said driver
Artush.
Driver David said that they have decided to meet with the lawmakers,
hand them the keys and ask them to work instead of them.
"If they can take care of their families with a one-day salary,
then I will applaud them for that."
After staying at the ministry building for a couple of hours, the
taxi drivers decided to leave and gather at Republic Square the
following day.
Republic Square was full of police cars while the protest was taking
place.
