I agree somewhat. The buses went on strike, and when that happens, other public transportation forms often strike or at least slow way down in solidarity. And Uber is not the solution. When there were massive demonstrations after the first travel ban of the current USA administration, many taxi cabs went on strike, especially at the major NYC airports. Uber drivers were told to cross picket lines and head to the airport and charge "surge," or extra pricing for cabs. That was another key to Uber''s current downfall, with hundreds of thousands of people going with the "Delete Uber" movement. Uber is not going to solve the problems with taxis in Florence. They are not even able to operate since the Florence government started requiring background checks, a license, insurance, etc. Taxis are not going to provide normal service when other public transportation sectors are on strike. Not to pick up higher fares from a fashion show, but out of solidarity.
