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 Organization 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.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
