I’m sad you don’t follow me on Twitter I posted a photo 12:10 @iphillychitchat http://twitpic.com/b81g2 – The cabs don’t want to accept credit card payments. Protesting at City Hall tying up traffic.

According to Action News they are protesting parking ticket hikes and revenue being withheld from credit card fares. And a few other things that don’t stick out in my mind.

I’m just glad I have an explanation for the helicopter I heard circling outside. Without actually having to go outside.

There was a taxi protest. Market Street was swamped with taxis that were not accepting passengers. They beeped and blocked the side streets as much as they could as they made their way to City Hall. I heard it had something to do with tickets…

At least they’re not hanging in the financial district. At least once a week we get to hear people protesting about bs in the Middle East. I always suggest they go to DC or the United Nations. They get a bit lazy though :(

It’s like meeting the girl of your dreams and finding out that she’s five.”

Highlarious.

So wait, are the drivers protesting or are people protesting Taxis? God I fucking hate taxis.
