a taxi in Norway.\u00a0 I have taken en drosje<\/strong> several times in Norway and I can only say good things.\u00a0 Every drosje<\/strong> I rode in was clean and comfortable, and driven by very friendly immigrants.\u00a0 Not that every drosjesj\u00e5f\u00f8r<\/strong> (taxi driver) in Norway is an immigrant, but certainly the majority are.\u00a0 I enjoyed talking with them and asking them about their historier<\/strong> (stories) about how they came to Norway and where they came from.\u00a0 Again, I will say that although det er veldig dyrt<\/strong> (it is very expensive) \u00e5 ta en drosje<\/strong> (to take a taxi) in Norway, I had great experiences with drosjer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Either I was lucky with the drosjer<\/strong> I took or the drosje<\/strong> environment has changed since I lived in Norway 4 years ago.\u00a0 I say this because of an article in Aftenposten online today:\u00a0 Oslo f\u00e5r taxipoliti<\/strong> (Oslo gets taxi police).\u00a0 My first thought was, hva<\/strong> (what)??\u00a0 Ja<\/strong>, there is going to be an organization that monitors drosjer og drosjesj\u00e5f\u00f8rer.\u00a0 Hvorfor<\/strong> (why), you might ask?\u00a0 Based on the new regler<\/strong> (rules) that are about to be enforced, passasjerer<\/strong> (passengers) have had complaints in several different areas.\u00a0 The following is the list of expectations for drosjer <\/strong>(taken directly from the Aftenposten website):<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Sj\u00e5f\u00f8rkurs som avsluttes med skriftlig eksamen i regi av kommunen<\/strong>.\u00a0 Chauffeur course that concludes with a written exam produced by the municipality.<\/p>\n

* Forbud mot \u00e5 snakke i mobilen n\u00e5r man har passasjer i bilen<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is forbidden to talk on\u00a0the phone\u00a0when one has a passenger in the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

* R\u00f8ykfri og ren bil.<\/strong>\u00a0 Smoke free and clean car.<\/p>\n

* Prisinformasjon p\u00e5 holde- plassene, og i taxien<\/strong>.\u00a0 Price information at the stop and in the taxi.<\/p>\n

* Klagebehandling innen 14 dager<\/strong>.\u00a0 Complaints handled within 14 days.<\/p>\n

* Kunden skal f\u00e5 beskjed hvis bilen er forsinket<\/strong>.\u00a0 The customer will receive a message if the car is late\\behind schedule.<\/p>\n

* Sj\u00e5f\u00f8ren skal ha godkjent uniform<\/strong>.\u00a0 The chauffeur should have an approved\u00a0uniform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The idea is \u00e5 kontrollere drosjene<\/strong> (to control the taxis) so that they all provide basically the same tjeneste<\/strong> (service) for roughly samme prisen<\/strong> (the same price).\u00a0 M\u00e5let er forn\u00f8yde passasjerer<\/strong> (The goal is satisfied passengers).\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have ever been i en drosje i<\/strong> New York, for eksempel<\/strong>, you would know that it would be nearly umulig<\/strong> (impossible) to monitor them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
