There's A 140-Minute Taxi Line At A Sao Paulo Airport After Subway Workers Strike Before World Cup
Amid a metro worker strike that's wrecking havoc on the city's transportation system, there are long taxi lines at both of the city's two major airports.
Brian Winter, a Reuters reporter, says he waited 140 minutes for a taxi at the city's new Guarulhos international airport.
