The real issue is town halls like creating artificial scarcity regarding transportation. They do this with other services too.

Getting a taxi license from the administration in Spain is not terribly expensive. The problem is they don't issue many, and licenses are transferible, therefore if you want to become a taxi driver you end up havint to buy a license from another driver. As a result you end up having a secondary market of licenses in which they reach absurd prices.

There is no reason for right-to-have-a-job licenses being so expensive you need to work for years to pay them. For once I am glad the business scheme is getting busted.

It is the same with tobacco expenditure licenses and the like. A friend of mine wanted to open a tobacco expenditure point and around that year the administration issued a single license for the province. It is widely known the people who ended up snatching the license paid an equivalent of 3000 EUR in a bribe and had to let the licensor fuck her girlfriend for a night in order to get the license granted.

My friend became a tobacco smuggler. Not surprising, I guess. When the administration gets Sovietic, corruption is not the problem, but the solution.
