Around 600 taxi drivers on Tuesday use their vehicles to block roads during a protest against Uber in Brussels, demanding the government to drop plans they said would make it easier for Uber and other ride-hailing apps to operate there in Belgium. /VCG Photo

Traditional drivers have objected to Uber in markets across the world, accusing it of circumventing local regulations on safety and taking their business without having to paying the same insurance and licensing costs./VCG Photo

In response, Uber claims that it already operates a fully licensed service in most EU countries and complies with local regulations. /VCG Photo

There have been many reforms on the public transportation in Brussels in recent years and the local authorities have tried to find ways to improve mobility in the city, including polices to make it easier for ride-hailing apps operating in Brussels. /VCG Photo
