Hallo Gerrit,
Overal ter wereld zijn ambulances vreselijk duur, tenminste, wanneer je
ze zelf moet betalen, dat wil zeggen, wanneer ze niet vergoed worden
door je ziektekosten-verzekering of ongevallen-verzekering. Je moet ook
de tijd betalen, die het ambulance-personeel doorbrengt met wachten en
koffiedrinken, totdat ze opgeroepen worden te assiteren bij een
straatongeval. In Nederland kost een ritje ook Hfl. 600 - 700!
Groeten, Christoffer
