From Times Wire Reports
Police in Athens have taken another step to tame the city’s notorious taxi drivers, arresting cabbies for unprofessional behavior, a private television station said. Six drivers were hauled into court after refusing to pick up customers heading to parts of the Greek capital they considered too close or out of the way, Mega television said. The drivers were given jail terms of up to one month but were allowed to pay fines instead. Police said more than 20 drivers have been arrested for similar reasons in the last month.
