Taxi protest: traffic chaos in Brussels on Thursday | VRT NWS: news

An estimated 1,500 taxi drivers are expected to take part in the protest from early on Thursday. They will be joined by colleagues from other countries to protest against the Uber ride hailing service and EU plans to liberalise the sector. The police fear massive congestion and are urging commuters and visitors to use the train and the metro. Bus and tram services too are expected to be disrupted.
