Huge queues waiting for buses at Jersey airport after taxi strike

Passengers arriving in Jersey this morning were left to wait for buses, after rank taxi drivers staged a "lightning strike".

It's over a disagreement to do with fare increases, which they say don't cover the costs they are having to pay as part of major reforms.

To ease problems, the Infrastructure Minister has allowed private taxis to serve the ranks and pick up customers who haven't booked.

Extra bus services have also been laid on, and more staff were on hand to help people.
