Taxi drivers rally at City Hall

Yellow taxi and black car drivers say they are literally dying trying to survive. Colleagues say that four drivers have committed suicide in the past few months because of financial ruin. Four coffins placed outside City Hall represent the drivers who have died by suicide in four months. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance and cab drivers say despair is growing in their industry because of unfair competition from companies like Uber and Lyft. Alliance President Bhairavi Desai said they are "sick and tired of burying [their] brothers."
