Three senior drivers were arrested for doing so-called “white taku” sales in Ginza, Tokyo. It is stated that “I did it in order to earn a living cost with less pension”.
Three people, including 75-year-old and older drivers, were all arrested, including Suginami Ward unemployed and Ito Kyuichi suspect (84).
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the three people are alleged to have run a so-called “white taku” business in January to September, near the taxi stand in Ginza, where passengers can be charged for private cars. .
They talked to office workers on the way home from work, saying, “I will make it cheaper than a taxi,” and after consulting the price on the spot, they sent it to their destination about 10 to 40% cheaper than a regular taxi.
All three responded to the investigation, saying that they all admitted their charges and said, “I did it to earn my living expenses because there were few pensions.”
At the taxi stand in Ginza, it seems that white taku sales by elderly drivers are rampant, and the Metropolitan Police Department says it will strengthen the control.
