Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 3:23 am
The new law will allow the self-employed to obtain permits to work as taxi drivers and rent cars. The law introduces the concepts of "passenger taxi", "passenger taxi ordering service", "applicant", "passenger taxi ordering", "regional register of passenger taxi carriers", "regional register of passenger taxis", "regional register of passenger taxi ordering services", etc. According to the document, drivers with an outstanding criminal record and a large number of fines will be prohibited from working as taxi drivers. To work, a driver must enter into an official employment contract with a carrier, individual entrepreneur, or saudi arabia cell phone number list register as self-employed.
The cars will be marked with a contrasting color scheme with elements arranged in a checkerboard pattern. It is proposed to install an orange light on the roof of the taxi. A card with information about the carrier and the driver should be placed in the cabin.
The document also regulates the activities of ordering services. For example, they will have to open regional offices if more than 4,000 cars carry out orders in the region daily. Companies are required to store all data only on Russian servers. Registers of passenger taxis will appear. Aggregators will share responsibility with self-employed drivers: in the event of an accident with a self-employed person, the aggregator will take on compensation for the injured passenger. And if the service massively gives orders to illegal drivers, it may lose its permit to work in the region.
PR Director of People & People (Citymobil, Gruzovichkof, Taxovichkof) Ekaterina Zubenina noted that the company will face a significant increase in taxi fleet expenses due to the adoption of this initiative. "It is assumed that the ordering service, when transferring an order for a passenger taxi, will bear subsidiary liability with the carrier, who is an individual, to the passenger for harm caused to his life, health, property during transportation by passenger taxi, in terms of compensation for actual damage not covered by the amount of insurance compensation, and previously joint liability was provided for," she explains. - New requirements for drivers - no criminal record, a ban on activities with three or more unpaid traffic fines, passing a certification for knowledge of the territory - in our opinion, make transportation more comfortable and safe, but the verification mechanism does not yet seem clear and simple and may require technical revision. We are in solidarity with the Federal Antimonopoly Service, which has been systematically opposed to state regulation of taxi tariffs since 2016. We advocate honest business and healthy competition between all market players. Regulation of taxi tariffs will have a detrimental effect on drivers, clients and pricing in the industry. In fact, this is a violation of free competition, which can lead to a significant increase in prices. We believe that there should be no obligation to open branches throughout the country. Our service is a taxi ordering service, and according to our business model, we do not open branches in other cities."
