Taxi drivers have protested against unlicensed carriers and competition from private shared ride businesses like Uber in Poznan, Poland.

WARSAW: Poland may impose more regulations on ride-hailing giant Uber while softening the rules for granting taxi licences in an attempt to find a compromise after protests by taxi drivers, Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said. 

Last week, thousands of cabs blocked streets of Poland's biggest cities demanding that the government react to "illegal activity" by some drivers, widely seen as a protest against Uber. Some Uber drivers have been targeted by vandals who poured excrement or acid on their cars.
