There is an idea to change the color of taxis, but yellow should remain at least until legislative changes against illegal transport are passed
“Union Taxi” insists on urgent changes in the Road Transport Act and the Criminal Code, which would put an end to unregulated transport, in a position sent to the National Assembly and the Ministry of Transport and Communications, writes Trud.
The branch organization warns that they are ready for protests if their legislative proposals are not accepted.
Regarding the mandatory yellow color of taxis, it should remain until the adoption of the changes in the Law on road transport aimed at unregulated transport, which is currently carried out mainly by cars with a non-yellow color, the industry also points out.
The branch organization also raises the question of the years up to which a car can be used as a taxi. According to them, the current limit of taxis being up to 15 years old is good and should remain because of the aging of the materials.
Currently, there is no requirement in the taxi regulations for how big taxis can be, but there is a requirement that cars used for taxi services must have at least four doors and have a covered trunk.
“Soyuz Taxi” also insists that the electronic taxi devices print not only the date and time of completion of the transport, but also the starting date and time.
This will put an end to the possibility of incorrect taxi drivers “pumping” the client’s account and demanding an unreasonably high price for the transport. If the fiscal receipt from the electronic taxi device also says the time of departure and the customer thinks he is being lied to, he will be able to complain to the transport company and to the control authorities.
