But they have backed the wrong horse.

Passions about ban on private fixed-run taxi could barely smooth down, and the authorities raised the motor topic again.

This time the fiscal authorities have focus on ordinarynary motorists who seek fellow travelers on social networks.

The representative of the Belarusian National Congress in Slonim Viktar Marchyk commented Charter97.org on the restless appetite of tax authorities.

- The authorities have no money. If they see a kopeck, they start grabbing it.

Wages, especially in the regions, are so miserable that a symbiosis of a driver and a passenger emerges. People have to travel a lot, especially for work. And drivers try to save on petrol and seek fellow travelers. It's logical. Only actions of the authorities make no logic, they put spokes in people's wheel. And they have already become the fifth wheel, a useless construction. It only bothers.

As for fixed-run taxi drivers, it's classics in "grabbing" business. Most likely, someone in the inner circle of Lukashenka has decided to capture roads in the country.

But they have backed the wrong horse and will likely swallow a spider. They failed to consider that fixed-run taxi owners invest in fuel, salaries for drivers and repair of cars. They are completely wrong. I hope their own stupidity will punish these C students. Having finished with "the top", they rushed to grab other business. Although they have no idea how this business runs.

The state transportation system will not be as convenient and cheap as private fixed-run taxi. Ordinary passengers will suffer. But the authorities have long been neglecting orginary people. They have three words in their pocket: "find, seize, humiliate".

- How to fight this "triad"?

- There is no chance to hide from the tax authorities for long. Sooner or later any information about fellow travelers on the Internet turns into another star on shoulder straps of another taxman, who revealed a "dangerous criminal", who gives people a lift.

We can also turn into the country of developed hitchhiking. But it's a joke, of course. Game of cat-and-mouse with the tax authorities will bear only huge fines.

In general, fixed-run taxi owners should only to unite, create a Trade Union or even a public organization and to solve this problem. Or it will be even better for all drivers and passengers to unite. There are enough reasons. This is not just the tax authorities and a new law on transportation. This is about motor vehicle inspection, and road tax, and "penny fluctuations" on gasoline prices.

It's time to unite and defend our interests. Every action causes counteraction. If fixed-run taxi is banned, then we should collect signatures first to show how many of us are there. But even signatures personally received by Lukashenka will not work. We can only exercise. Another thing is important: as soon as we realize that there are a lot of us, we should take the streets. Because this problem is almost everyone's.
