Question 239 in the bank

Is it permitted to drive passengers for hire in a private passenger car?

  1. Only during a public transportation strike.
  2. Yes, when the passengers pay a fare that is equal to that of a bus ride.
  3. Correct answer: No.
  4. Only in inter-urban rides.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No.

It is forbidden to drive passengers for hire in a private passenger car. Driving passengers for payment is permitted in a public vehicle licensed for it, such as a taxi or a bus, with a driver holding a suitable permit. So it makes no difference whether the ride is inter-urban, whether there is a public transportation strike, or whether the fare equals that of a bus ride.
