Main STP Department has addressed to the legal and physical entities providing taxi services

23.03.2017

The address is as follows: “Under the instructions of our President, considerable works have been executed in the development of tourism infrastructure in the Republic and formation of tourism services meeting international standards over the past few years. Regulatory framework of this area and state regulation mechanisms have been improved, opportunities of use of the existing tourism potential have been expanded, i.e. new tourist routes have been created, which cause notable increase in the number of tourist coming to our country.”

Unfortunately, it should be emphasized that provision of taxi service by the individuals engaged in transport sector and implementation of passenger transportation in the old and defective cars cast a shadow over the ongoing large-scale work and create an unpleasant impression about our country on foreign citizens. 

For information purpose we should note that according to the requirement of existing legislation, the carrier should implement passenger transportation with a vehicle that provides comfort and safety of passengers within the defined territory, and that is technically in a good condition, and that is considered for such kind of transportation. The cars which are used as a taxi should be provided with identification sign “Taxi” and relevant light, the squares placed in the form of the chess on the left and right doors, for interior, it should be supplied with a taximeter and an information board containing the driver’s surname, name, and photo and the transport service provider’s (physical or legal entities) name, address, and phone number. Taxi drivers cannot park the cars wherever they want, they should stop the cars in the special parking areas defined by relevant organizations or marked with the sign of 5.14.

The Main STP Department informs the physical and legal entities engaging in taxi business once again that responsible persons will be brought to administrative responsibility for implementation of passenger traffic by vehicles that do not meet the mentioned requirements, and that are not supplied with the sign of “Taxi”, taximeter, and that do not contain other important indicators defined based on the passengers and baggage transportation rules, as well as, for parking outside the places marked with the sign of 5.14 with the purpose of taking order.

We hope that those who love their homeland will prefer the national interests to their own interests, perform their duties duly and make best efforts to further increase the economic power of the state, performing his duty duly.”
