New York, NY – Taxi Strike Ends.

New York, NY – A two-day taxi strike wound down with strikers calling it successful, city officials declaring it a nonevent and some nonstriking drivers enjoying windfalls.

The mayor’s office said temporary rules allowing drivers to pick up multiple separate passengers — and charge flat fares instead of the usual metered rates — would expire at 5 a.m. Friday, when the strike was scheduled to end. [wnbc]
