Police Stop Illegal Transport Service

Tue 19th Oct, 2010

Munich. From Wuppertal to Munich for 30 Euro, a shuttle service was offered by two Iraqis and promoted via the Internet. The police have since stopped the bus transfer - the offer was illegal for various reasons.

Departure: 9 o'clock from Wuppertal, Bonn, Dusseldorf or Cologne. The destination is Munich and the price is 30 Euro. The service returns at 5 PM from Hauptbahnhof in Munich. This route was offered by two 37 year old Iraqis from Cologne and Bonn for a relatively long period of time, using the Internet to find clients. Many students used the cheap transport.

After a police check the two men can now expect a fine, according to the police in Munich. "Due to the ambitious route and schedule, it is expected that the drivers drove while being exhausted multiple times", says a police report. There is also suspicion that the men haven't registered their transport service at the Arbeitsagentur.
