Uber doesn't operate in Florence. So the cab drivers are just proving the point that Uber is vital
People in town are saying that the strike is on Friday...and the taxis are just doing what they always do when there's lots of demand.....refusing to serve the public and going for boutique fares. I passed 8 taxicab ranks in Florence today. I saw a grand total of ZERO cabs available.
