Maybe it's time to stop being so hard on the Paris taxi drivers, as Parisians very often areA new study from research group "6t" has found that Paris cabbies are working extremely long hours while scoring very few rides. Cabbies effectively work "11-hour days, six days a week and take only three weeks of holiday a year", the study reported. To make matters worse for the taxi drivers, the typical salary for those who haven't yet managed to pay off their exorbitant licence is just €5.50 an hour, compared to €13 for those who have paid it. This is a key reason the cab drivers went on strike so often during this summer, sometimes getting violent with Uber drivers in the process (see photo below).
