On a sunny day in Rhodes Island, Greece, a group of taxi owners and drivers channeled their inner Hulks and wreaked havoc in a parking lot, overturning and smashing Uber cars like they were toys. Prior to the incident, three Uber drivers had been arrested by the police for violating traffic laws and offering cheaper-than-permitted rides to the island’s airport, while taxi drivers organized a rally against Uber’s presence in Rhodes.
Local media outlets Dimokratiki and Rodiak captured the shocking aftermath of the Greek taxi drivers’ rampage outside Uber Greece’s premises in Rhodes.
