Dozens of taxis have driven through Melbourne in convoy to the steps of Victoria's Parliament after blockading the Bolte Bridge to protest against industry reforms.
Drivers are angry at the Government's move to legalise the ride-booking service Uber, introduce a $2 levy on all trips made by hire cars and taxis, and abolish the current model of taxi licences.
The Victorian Taxi Association called the move to introduce a levy "unworkable", and said it was not the best way to compensate the industry in response to Uber.
