Taxi Drivers Demonstrate in Budapest
Taxi drivers demonstrated for more favourable taxation, greener and safer traffic conditions, job opportunities and "an opportunity to make an honest living" in Budapest.

Participants gathered at Heroes' Square with their vehicles in the afternoon, and drove to the Construction and Transport Ministry, the National Economy Ministry, the Finance Ministry, the City Hall and the Budapest public transport company BKK. The demonstration lasted until the evening, the Organisation for Taxi Drivers' Interests said.

Protesters have called for raising the tax-free bracket for SMEs, a cap on the number of taxi drivers in the city, a review of traffic safety regulations, and talks on the work safety conditions for drivers. Should their demands not be met, the organisation threatened to repeat the protest.
