However, the "catches" are not yet reduced … The correspondent of "Behind the Wheel. RF" went to one of the raids.
100 thousand rubles, up to the confiscation of the vehicle
Conspiracy is absolute: no one is notified about the checkpoint in advance, even verified employees of the capital's Deptrans. The coordinates become known just before leaving for the "objects". DPS is also sent to help close to the raid: to appear at such a point, the task is in place. Surprise provided. Checks are carried out in the morning rush hour, near metro stations, where many passengers transfer by taxi. There are dozens of such points in the capital. This time the scene is the Tulskaya station.
The wet snowfall did not stop, the coats were wet, but events did not let go under the visor of the nearby building: they almost immediately detained the yellow Gazelle taxi. Behind the glass: route 39M. The driver does not have a waybill, he didn’t even make excuses - they say, lost: the driver cannot fail to have this document.
Before the controllers had time to draw up a protocol on an administrative offense, another minibus of the same route arrived. And her driver is also without a waybill. Both were fined 4 thousand per brother.

The warning system failed: two illegal immigrants - a couple. The warning system failed: two illegal immigrants - a couple.
Maybe it’s really relatives. Judging by the registration of the place of residence, both from Smolensk came to work. Controllers who studied the “wards,” said that usually after one who settled in Moscow, his relatives go. Community and work.

Illegal from Smolensk. That earned … Illegal from Smolensk. That earned …
On the same "patch" came a white "Gazelle" with the pointer "826". We spotted an illegal visitor from afar - I pierced the little things: in Moscow, minibuses that have a terminal at the metro station are assigned the letter “M” to the route number. She's not here. Like the waybill. By recording this driver’s rights from Dagestan.
“It is unlikely that anyone else will appear,” said one of the controllers, “the alert is still debugged, it is unlikely that another failure will occur.”

All inscriptions are like a real minibus, from the list of all stops to the most requested ones. There are no trifles - the letters "M". All inscriptions are like a real minibus, from the list of all stops to the most requested ones. There are no trifles - the letters "M".
Debugged and marketing. Why did the "partisans" draw number 39M on the plates? Calculation of passenger associations: not so long ago a tram with the same number ran along the same route. Why number 826? Between the same final stops, the Mosgortrans bus now runs. Illegals assume how passengers think: a full-size city bus is less agile, drives into all kinds of streets so that it is easier for pensioners (the main contingent of public transport) to get to markets and clinics. And minibuses “straighten” the course, their speed is higher.

Illegals will not miss their. During one of the previous raids at the Belyaevo metro station, the route of “microbes” (on the line of six units of cars) to the Teply Stan metro was reached with a stop at a shopping town with a full range of popular stores. By the way, in that raid, representatives of the Rostransnadzor drew up several acts implying fines of 50 thousand rubles. with recovery in court. In principle, there is an article under which you can recover 100 thousand with the confiscation of the vehicle with subsequent sale in favor of the treasury.
“But only if we prove in court that the owner earns without a license,” said Dmitry Shuplyakov, deputy. Head of the department of the public institution "Organizer of transportation" Moscow Deptrans. - It’s hard to prove. Not the owner drives, but hired. The owner will turn his back on the court: I supposedly gave the car a ride to the store, and he, so-and-so, deceived … But “for every sage there is quite simplicity” - we are looking for ways to prove it.

Fine for 4 thousand rubles. Sign the receipt here … A fine of 4 thousand rubles. Sign the receipt here …
The relationship between the owner of the vehicle and the hired driver is known to the inspectors: daily you bring me so much money for renting a minibus, you pay for fuel and repairs yourself, the rest is yours …
Question to the representative of Deptrans: suppose all illegal immigrants are caught, but if there are any gaps in the transportation, will passengers suffer? The same fears arose among the townspeople when the Moscow government undertook to identify and punish the owners of passenger taxis.

“Sorry, man, but there is no landing, this minibus will not go any further. This is not a minibus at all. " I'm sorry, man, but there is no landing, this minibus will not go any further. It’s not a minibus at all.”
The answer is convincing:
“But nobody forbids doing this business,” explains Dmitry Shuplyakov. - It is only about carriers moving out of the underground and paying taxes. Of course, you will have to spend money on the services of doctors and mechanics, who are obliged to put notes on the waybills that the driver and his vehicle are in order. What is relevant: almost all “left” minibuses are the dead Gazelles, and their passengers, without knowing it, are at great risk … Law-abiding carriers have a slightly lower income. But look: they are not only not getting poorer, but are developing, and the city authorities are ready to help them, even telling “free” routes. Those who parasitize on urban infrastructure, robbing Muscovites, will not give up what citizens rightfully own. Whatever they are called - "illegal immigrants", "leftists", "partisans", in fact they are thieves.
