CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP) - Mexico has deployed hundreds of federal police to try to quell a dispute between taxi drivers and tour van operators in the popular beach resort of Cabo San Lucas.
About 200 agents guarded hotels and van services on Friday after recent incidents in which taxi drivers forced vehicles to stop or give up their passengers.
The cabbies say the vans are unfairly stealing their business and the federal government should not meddle in a matter that is Baja California state's business.
The dispute has been going on for years and occasionally causes some inconvenience for visitors who planned to used the vans.
