Melbourne, prepare for a second week of public transport pain, as both tram drivers and taxi drivers are set to walk off the job on Thursday.

Tram drivers are set to strike between 10am and 2pm, as the pay battle between the Rail, Tram and Bus Union and Yarra Trams rages on.

At the same time, taxi and hire car drivers will also walk off the job in protest of illegal rideshare service UberX.
