Don't mess with striking Greek taxi cab drivers, part 1

190,000 euros for a taxi permit.  Egads!

Remember this story.  Next week, I'll be sharing a first hand account (along with photos) of what happens to a poor Greek taxi cab when its owner decides to cross the picket line.  Let's just say it was taken away in the back of a flatbed truck.

The taxi driver complains about how expensive was to him, jobless, to get the license... but doesn't want licenses to be cheaper.

That is so selfish, more now that many greeks are about to be out of a job and driving a taxi will be the only thing to do for them.
