Over a thousand taxi drivers blocked the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Friday, to demand the prohibition of the ride-sharing company Uber. The taxi drivers parked their yellow cabs in the Aterro do Flamengo area of Rio, forming a chain stretching for five kilometres (3 miles), blocking the roads towards the north of the city where both airports are located. There are 33,000 licensed taxis in Rio de Janeiro with the Uber application affecting around forty percent of their services. Earlier this month, lawmakers in Brasilia and Sao Paulo voted to ban the company after protests by local taxi drivers.
