Taxi Protest in Budapest - Traffic Delays Expected Until Weekend
- 30 Oct 2025 6:00 AM
Taxi drivers held another demonstration in Budapest with dozens of cars near City Hall on Wednesday.
Several of the protesters entered the Budapest General Assembly, but the mayor did not allow them to read out their demands at the meeting. Meanwhile, taxi drivers gathered in other parts of the city centre to slow down traffic.
Norbert Vaczi of the Budapest Taxi Drivers Association said their demands were the same as a month ago, including a fare increase, a freeze of the number of taxi drivers and the elimination of illegal passenger transport.
Negotiations have made no progress, so the protesters want to keep up the pressure until they see results, he said.
The protest will continue for three days slowing down traffic in several parts of Budapest.
