Police forcibly removed protesting taxi bosses from a public transport meeting with Cape Town Mayor Helen Zille yesterday.

Zille and elements within the taxi industry are at loggerheads over plans by the city to roll out a new and improved public transport system ahead of 2010,named the Integrated Rapid Transport system.

The city presented details of the plan under tight police guard at the Civic Centre in Cape Town, but disgruntled taxi representatives started shouting and singing, bringing the event to a brief standstill.
