Dozens of taxi drivers in Amsterdam turned out for a protest against paid ride sharing platform Uber. The drivers gathered at the NDSM-plein in Amsterdam on Wednesday, angered by the alternative taxi service's low rates and high volume of drivers which the demonstrators said was crushing their organized trade. They then made their way as a group from the side on Amsterdam Noord close to the Berlage Bridge in Amsterdam Oost. The drivers work with authorized taxi providers licensed by the city, but many of them said they also work with Uber as a necessary evil to boost their deflating revenue.
