(Photo by MANU FERNANDEZ \/ AP)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>BARCELONA, Spain \u2014 Taxi drivers in Barcelona are blocking traffic on a major thoroughfare as part of an indefinite strike to protest the use of ride-hailing apps like Uber or Cabify.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of taxi drivers parked their back-and-yellow cabs in the middle of Barcelona&#8217;s Gran Via on Saturday, where some drivers spent the night in their vehicles or in tents.<\/p>\n<p>Catalan public television showed taxis from other Spanish cities, including Bilbao, 600 kilometers (372 miles) away, arriving overnight to join the protest.<\/p>\n<p>Taxi drivers in Barcelona started the strike Wednesday to oppose a judge&#8217;s decision that suspended the need for additional authorization for ride-hailing companies to operate in the popular tourist destination.<\/p>\n<p>Uber and Cabify suspended services Wednesday after taxi supporters assaulted several of their drivers, sending two of them to the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taxi drivers in Barcelona are blocking traffic on a major thoroughfare as part of an indefinite strike to protest the use of ride-hailing
