Unionized taxi drivers to protest in Itagui, Colombia, starting at 08:30 April 29. Transport disruptions likely.

Warning

Unionized taxi drivers plan to stage a go-slow vehicular protest march through Itagui stating at 08:30 April 29. The purpose of the action is to call for stricter controls on app-based ride hailing services. An initial group of participating drivers will assemble at Ayura Station, before moving south along Calle 85 to Carrera 52D and proceeding to Parque del Artista where they will link up with a second group. The convoy will then drive to the Pilsen Roundabout, move along the length of Carrera 52, and return to the city's main park.

Authorities will likely deploy an increased police presence along the march route as a precaution. Significant traffic disruptions are likely.

Avoid the announced demonstration route; seek alternative driving routes to mitigate any disruption. Heed the instructions of local law enforcement personnel.
