FRANCE-US-TRANSPORT-ECONOMY-PROTEST

A sticker reading "Parking prohibited - VTC (for tourist transport vehicles with drivers) outlaw" is seen on a windscreen of a taxi, on December 15, 2014, near the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, outside Paris, during a demonstration of Parisian taxi drivers to protest against a court's refusal to ban urban ridesharing service UberPOP. Like their counterparts in large cities across the globe, Parisian taxi drivers are fed up with what they see as unfair competition from Uber's popular smartphone taxi service. UberPOP, which uses non-professional drivers using their own cars to take on passengers at budget rates, has 160,000 users in France, according to the company.
