Is it the day before yesterday? When I was running, there was a lot of "roads that aren't so crowded at this time of the day", and sometimes I couldn't move at all on the way.
I was wondering, "What? Accident? Event?", But I wasn't in a hurry, so I went on a leisurely crowded road, but I noticed something unusual on the way.
The road has opened up a little, but when I noticed, there are many taxis that say, "I don't usually have a taxi here!"
I finally thought, "Well, is it an event? A taxi line for the customer?", But the more I proceeded, the more taxis I got around (laughs). This is absolutely strange.
When I thought about something, yes, taxi drivers were demonstrating against "ride sharing." The place is in front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (or rather, around).
When I saw the news later, it seems that 400 taxis were gathering around the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on that day. Well, if you put yourself in such a line of 400 taxis, the whole area will be a taxi ...
No, I was really surprised that the surrounding area was full of taxis.
And me. Actually, it's not the first time I've been in the middle of such a "taxi demo". What is it ~!
The last time was probably a couple of years ago? It was when I was renting a car and running alone in the United States (← What are you doing? I'm suspicious (laughs)).
I parked at the meter parking lot, did some errands, and when I came back, I suddenly found myself full of taxis around my rental car, even though I hadn't been there before! !! ↓
When I tried to get into the car, the taxi driver called out to me, "There (meter parking), is it free ?? Lucky! It's Vesposito!" It seems that he was parked in the "middle" of the best position (laughs).
At this time as well, it was a demonstration against ride sharing (Uber) by taxi drivers.
Even so, I never encountered such a demonstration against ride sharing in the middle of Japan and the United States.
In Tokyo, I often run around the "Ministry of xx" and "Embassy of xx", so I have a very high rate of encountering demonstrations ... Huh.
