I would tax any car owner just for breathing.
They use up city space, parking space and waste a lot of money and resources... and car's aren't even really theirs, but paid by credit (except a very small bunch). This country is too small for people using an SUV just to move a single kilometer. Hmmm. I'm thinking that maybe this Uberpop isn't so bad at all if htey manage to create enough chaos XD

He would be driving without proper INSURANCE.
does this term ring a bell?

Indeed, US Style!! In the US ;)
Were they are very welcome to stay and open carry and roll the coal all day long and happily feast in their KKK barbeques.

Can I have a tank? ()
They are underutilized! Pleaaase??? ^(*_*)^

I thought doctors were completely private in the USA.

Bah, we have our bikes. Who want's a shabby taxi?

Well, another very good point indeed.

And you may have an accident with your property while enforcing your rules and the insurance company will not give you any pieces of paper, specially not if something happened to the person who wanted to give pieces of paper to you.. and you may end up in a big house with bars on the doors and windows and you may end up being the property of somebody else and subject to his rules ;)

Excellent point. I don think the common car insurance will cover accidents in these situations, and neither will the company Uberpop do.

Just imagine the situation in stations and airports. It is bad right now, everywhere, in every country. Taxi Mafia are global. Now change the taxis for normal drivers... no matter if you can call them via an app or not... it will be total chaos. and this will mean that normal people who drive themselves will suffer the consequences of that, including economical ones with Uberpoppers just topping anywhere they want and releasing passengers everywhere and there would of course be wars and Mafia, you doubt it?

The "Locals" were either a bunch of retards or a bunch of motherfucking pranksters. Assuming you visit Amsterdam, 38 Euros is a lot of rides to be taken... and that's the minimum fine you can get. Not worth the risk for a the 1.5 buck of the ticket from Hoofdorp to Amsterdam. And the Metro has closed doors, no way to ride "black".And the train controllers will go for the tourists, take it for granted

Well, maybe it's me. But in my country (Hilversum, capital of the The People's Republic of t'Gooi) we have a few yellow and blue machines that say "Losse kaartjes", made of paper.

I think that chipless cards are not accepted EU-wide.

"Poorly Implemented"? Lol. that's a very creative understatement :)

Well, despite being a small country we have a few airportS (note the plural) and quite a large number of STATIONS. And yes, you can buy the OV Chipkaart at any vending machine on any station.

And don't waste your money in one of these "reusable" cards, they will cost you 4.5 € extra just for the sake of it. Just buy a dead-normal paper ticket. They are new too but made of paper and you can recharge them. Business as usual: Single trip or return trip. Remember to check in at the door and out if you have a return, later you can just throw it away.
