Roman taxi drivers attend classes of nice behavior

Rome introduced classes of English and nice behavior for taxi drivers. The city said 750 drivers would have eight hours of "practical" English, a "cultural behavior" lesson, and instructions on how to make visitors feel welcome in the Italian capital.

In a country that makes a lot of money from tourism, knowledge of English and other foreign languages in this area is often quite bad.

Earlier this week, tourists in Rome found it difficult to find a cab, unrelated to driver behavior.

City cabbies joined a day-long strike of nationwide cabbies, protesting against the competition of Uber drivers and entrepreneurs who bought black vans, obtained permits and so fewer groups of tourists drive.
