Hungary – Taxi Strike

Taxi drivers plan to stage a nationwide protest March 1. Drivers and their vehicles will gather at several locations across the country, where they will block traffic on major roadways. It is unclear exactly when the taxi drivers will begin and end their protest; similar taxi blockades have caused traffic disruptions for up to three days. While some roads will be completely shut to traffic for the duration of the protests, others will see traffic reduced to one lane or one direction only. Expect widespread ground transport disruptions for both passenger and commercial vehicles. Taxi availability will likely be limited, especially in metropolitan areas.
