Welcome to Sweden – a country of free enterprise

Det verkar som om en del turister som kommer till Sverige inte har fattat hur Sverige fungerar. Här är ett förslag till turistinformation…

Welcome to Sweden.

The members of the swedish government are happy you choose to visit our country and hope you will enjoy your stay. Sweden is a country of free enterpise and we want to tell you more about it…

An alliance between four right-wing parties is forming modern swedish politics – the modern swede just loves “Alliansen”

 

As a visitor you have the same privilege as the swede – you can make a free choice. You will experience this on arrival att Arlanda International Airport or if you come by boat to a Stockholmian harbour. We will give you an example. Maybe you want to go by taxi to your hotel…?

The Swedish taxi industry has been deregulated. Its up to you to make the deal. The price of the ride will vary. A ride from Arlanda could cost you 400 SEK or 40 000 SEK – its up to you to decide. You must pay according to the price information that should be clearly visible both inside and outside of the vehicle. When you entered that cab you closed the deal. If the meter of the taxi says 40 000 SEK (4 000 Euro, $6 000 ) on arrival att your hotel– you must pay! So make your choices carefully and you will enjoy our country. Once again – Welcome to Sweden

By law a swedish cab must have price information. This is what we call a “free driver” giving his information. The cost of a ride in this car from Alanda airport to Stockholm will be around 40 000 SEK most hours of the week.

DN har på senare tid debatterat den fria taxinäringen, och en sådan som Ulf Adelsohn, en av initiativtagarna till avregleringen är numera kritisk till resultatet
