Toronto taxi drivers are gearing up for another protest against Uber that will shut down major roads downtown.
That the rally falls on one of the busiest weekends this month – on February 12 as the city prepares for Family Day long weekend and to host the NBA All-Star Game – is no coincidence. The only thing that could stop the planned protest is if city council decides to file an injunction against UberX at its meetings this week.
“If the protest does happen, it’ll basically be to show how incompetent the mayor is,” says Paul Sekhon, a general manager for City Taxi. “We’re hoping they’ll get the injunction this time and take some action.”
The taxi protest would be the second in nearly two months. On December 9, hundreds of GTA cab drivers rallied downtown, taking over the intersection of Queen and Bay and blocking traffic.
