Hungarian Taxi Drivers Protest New Regulations
Taxi drivers staged a protest parade at Heroes Square in Budapest on Monday, complaining that stricter technology requirements planned by the city will drive many of them out of business. Some 150-200 drivers demanded fixed fares and a limit on the number of taxis in Budapest.

They suggested that the new technical requirements should be applied only to new entrants.
