Drivers


Today when I was coming from office to home; I decided to write down about another social crisis in Iran. Sometimes I don’t use my personal car. In these days I am between the people who don’t have car and use public vehicles. Today was one of these days. in such days one shall use taxi services or bus, most of the times bus are not efficient enough for using and the number of taxis are limited too. But there is another choice , Freelance drivers! Yeah! so many people work with their own cars and they move the passengers in city. Some of them are unemployed persons who have no other way for earning money. There is no syndicalism for them. And no one support them. On the other hand no social insurance system supports them. It means if they hurt in an accident they have to pay for their treatment. And there is no retirement time for these poor people. Some others of these drivers are government employees who work with their cars after the ordinary work time, some others are retirements and you may even find between them army and police officers. There is a common reason for all of them for working with their own cars, the costs for life are really expensive and compensation in government and army and police is too low. They work with 30 yeared old cheap cars, every car driver should get on 5 passenger. They stop in crosses and cause bad problems in traffic. In the most often times the number of the cars is more than the number of the passengers. They fight with each other for a passenger. they are really fed up life.
