Taxis drivers in Paris are voicing their disappointment at the low level of activity since the start of the Olympic Games – due to a lack of customers – and are calling for state compensation.
According to a letter sent by taxi unions to the France's transport m"inistry on Thursday, the Olympic Games have proved "a great disappointment" for the industry: "demand is still at a low ebb and the very exercise of the business is deeply hampered by these Games for the entire profession".
