Angry cabbies have vowed to continue their anti-GPS protest with a march to the House of Assembly this morning.

The drivers plan to present a petition, with several hundred signatures in support of their job action, to Premier Alex Scott.

Bermuda Taxi Operators Association spokesman Lee Tucker said drivers will march through Hamilton at 9 a.m. as they continue their strike, demanding that Government reconsider mandatory GPS legislation.

Mr. Tucker said no talks or negotiations took place between Government and the drivers yesterday.

Seventy to 80 protesting taxi drivers also joined in a go-slow protest along Kindley Field Road to drive home the point that the job action could go on indefinitely.

Despite the hot sun, drivers got out of their cabs and marched along Kindley Field Road to the airport carrying signs and chanting ?Brown Must Go?.

Although more than a dozen taxi drivers who did not join the the job action seemed to be doing a steady business in the area yesterday, Mr. Tucker said the majority of Bermuda?s 600 taxis are off the roads.

Last week, Government tabled its controversial GPS bill saying the system will improve service and security. Under the legislation, drivers are required to own two-way radio sets, a mobile data terminal, a global positioning device, and alarm device in the cabs.

Yesterday, Mr. Tucker said drivers are considering a number of options including working to rule, or working hours they have set by agreement.

Despite criticism from tourism officials that the job action could be a catastrophic blow to the recovering industry, Mr. Tucker said the drivers had more support from the general public ? including union workers and bus operators ? than criticism.

The Ministry of Transport issued a press release yesterday stating the Public Transportation Board?s plans to transport the public to and from the hotels and the airport went as well as expected.

The Director of PTB, Dan Simmons, said the buses operated on Wednesday with additional routes and, due to the taxi shortage, employed an additional 23 buses on top of their usual fleet of 70.

Hotels were serviced on Wednesday night with 15 buses, the east and west end with three extra buses each, and a late night schedule with an extra two buses.

Airport General Manager James Howes said that despite the interruption along the Causeway by several taxis, 4,000 passengers managed to pass through the airport smoothly, adding that no arriving passenger waited longer than 15-30 minutes for transportation.

Mr. Tucker said the taxi stoppage would last as long as it takes for the drivers to get their point across to Government.

?There?s no telling how much longer this will last,? he said. ?We apologise to the public for the inconvenience, but we feel we have to make a stand now rather than in the future.?

This week Transport Minister Dr. Ewart Brown and Premier Alex Scott faced off against drivers at the Cabinet building.

Visitors struggled to make their flights on Wednesday when stalled traffic on the Causeway left them in danger of missing their connections. One driver was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice after failing to move his cab.
