RUMOUR CONFIRMED: Victorian taxi drivers to block Bolte Bridge in protest on Monday

RUMOUR CONFIRMED: Victorian taxi drivers will spark traffic chaos in Melbourne next week.

The Rumour File revealed on Tuesday that it would be taking place, with drivers protesting the Victorian Government’s deregulation reform after the rise of ride-sharing services like Uber.

‘We’re sorry we had to do this, but we have to do this,’ he said on 3AW.
