Overcoming the collective action problem is a major challenge for
social groups. Why did Group 1 (Istanbul's taxi drivers) triumph over
Group 2 (Uber/Careem customers)? Discuss.
Amid a legal challenge to Uber, Turkish taxi drivers on Monday
protested the ride-sharing company outside an Istanbul courthouse.
The demonstration, organized by the Istanbul Taxi Drivers
Tradesmen's Association (1TEO) outside the Caglayan Courthouse,
had protesters holding signs saying "Uber = Global Thief" and "Uber
get out of our country." Taxi drivers passing by also supported the
protest. (Anatolian Agency, 12.03.2018)
