The Amsterdam taxi war |
|
For centuries the Amsterdam Taxi Service had the monopoly of exploiting the cabs in Amsterdam . It was only this organisation that could give out the expensive licences for cab drivers in Amsterdam . After a change in law new taxi companies appear on the market and within days a taxi war began. Drivers of new taxi's are abused and their cabs are molested. When the Amsterdam police intervenes, riots begin. A reportage on both sides of the battle ground and on the possibilities to solve the problems.
