Taxis today protested the city government's plan to increase the number of bus lanes. The lined up along Pueyrredon and Corriented, blocking traffic in the recently added bus lanes heading north. Here's the article on Clarin with more background.
I remember last year there was a taxi protest for higher fares that shutdown the microcenter. I was transfixed by the images on TV of the streets filled with a swarm of identical taxis, like yellow jackets having invaded the city. The protest today was considerably smaller and I left a little disappointed. FYI, I'm all in favor of more efficient bus transit.

Argentina seems like France, where protests and street demonstrations are a national sport.
