Taxi drivers unhappy about extended metro service

Taxi drivers say they are suffering losses from the extended weekend service of the Prague metro. Since the beginning of September the metro runs an extra hour past midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, giving people out on the town an opportunity to stay out longer without having to order a taxi home. The metro’s management has extended the service on a temporary basis and is to review the decision at the end of the year. If there is sufficient interest the extra hour of service will be retained.
