France: Vehicle for hire drivers protesting across Bordeaux Nov. 26
Ridesharing drivers engaging in go-slow protest across Bordeaux, France, Nov. 26. Road travel disruptions ongoing.
Vehicle for hire drivers are staging a go-slow protest across Bordeaux as of the afternoon of Nov. 26. The purpose of the action is to demand improved regulations in the vehicle-for-hire business in France. At least 100 vehicles are reportedly participating in the action; the convoy has been staging demonstrations near Bordeaux Airport (BOD), Bordeaux Sean-Jean Railway Station, and across the city center. The action will reportedly end at 19:00.
Road travel disruptions will likely continue until the go-slow demonstration concludes. Heightened security is likely near the convoy through the early evening. Limited confrontations between participants and disgruntled drivers cannot be ruled out.
Plan for road travel delays if traveling near Bordeaux Airport (BOD), Bordeaux Sean-Jean Railway Station, or central Bordeaux. If possible, avoid the impacted areas. Plan for increased demand of alternative transport. Immediately leave the area at the first sign a security disturbance may occur.
