Taxi Strike Breeds Violence

Protests erupted across several parishes today following calls by public transport operators for the government to provide a traffic ticket amnesty.

After several hours of standing under the scorching sun, one commuter discloses how the service withdrawal has impacted her movement. Watch the report below:
