10,000 taxi drivers came out in a planned protest (http://mashable.com/2016/03/21/indonesia-taxi-app-protest-uber/) against ride-hailing apps like Uber and Grab, which they say have taken business away from them by encroaching on their space.*
The drivers blocked traffic down main roads with their cars, and the sheer size of the mob also prevented cars from moving past the blockages.
