while the passenger was still in the cab, at 4am:
Mexico City cabbies come to blows with Uber ride-share driver
Angry taxi owners used bats to attack a vehicle while the passenger was still inside
Before dawn, a group of taxi drivers used baseball bats to smash the windows and doors of an automobile that was transporting an Uber user in the city’s central Roma district.
The thugs are organized
The attackers are members of the Permanent Committee for Transportation in the Federal District, an organization made up of taxi drivers who came together last October to organize protest rallies against the online application, which is used to put passengers in touch with private drivers.
