Uber‚ Taxify drivers now disrupting traffic with go-slow driving along M1

A slow convoy of protesting drivers from Uber and Taxify are holding up motorists along a major route through the north of Johannesburg.

Half of that amount was paid out to 12,350 drivers and delivery workers in the United States and Canada, Uber's largest market and where it has some 1.3 million drivers.

A slow convoy of protesting drivers from Uber and Taxify are holding up motorists along a major route through the north of Johannesburg.

The M1 north traffic is heavily backed up as a result‚ particularly around the Corlett Drive and Sandton vicinities.

Protesting drivers are moving from Zoo Lake to submit memorandums to Uber offices in Kramervile and Taxify in Bryanston.
