Now, New York taxi cabs have the evidence they need to address their case to the New York City council, the same board that was only a voice away from dramatically cutting the number of rental cars registered on the New York city streets.

The New York Daily News analysed recently available taxi and limousine commission figures show that the overall number of journeys in the first half of 2015 was 10% lower than in the same half of the previous year: Last year, 5 million, revealed a daily news analysis of travel dates.

Taxi riders in other major EU countries - including Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon and Milan - have also gone on strike against the group.
