Rideshare with private “taxi drivers” who ask for a small fee, much lower than the regular taxi. The UberPOP app brings drivers and carpoolers with each other. The mode of transport is controversial: four taxi drivers’ are Saturday also arrested when they offered their services

Saturday performed the Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) along with. the prosecution and police check. It ‘mystery guests’ who were employed drivers caught red-handed. The drivers have been given a fine of up to 4200 euros. The final amount will be determined later by the OM. If walking the four again against the light, they get a fine of 10,000 euros.

This is the first time that it checks for illegal taxis in Netherlands such as inspection calls. The taxi industry has criticized regulations are lacking. The makers of the app UberPOP find the criticism nonsense and want the taxi industry just break open. For consumers, the service is extremely popular because ride with individuals rather saves costs. In the summer there was a successful trial with dozens of amateur taxi drivers which certainly 100o rides were done by the city. Since last Thursday all Amsterdammers can offer their services.
