Ekaterina Zubenina believes that regulation in the taxi transportation sector has not been fully developed, therefore the current legislation requires changes and new legal acts, but this should not only come from "above", the government should be ready for a dialogue with business for the changes to be effective. "We sent a collective letter from industry players with comments on the draft law, identifying "controversial norms" that could worsen the situation in the industry, but we cannot say that we listened closely to the opinions of market players when developing this draft law. The requirements for passenger taxis, which the new draft law implies, will entail new expenses for the service. But our service is not going to raise prices only because of additional costs for taxi aggregators to comply with the rules or an increase in the cost of servicing cars," assured Ekaterina Zubenina.
told ComNews that the adoption saudi arabia cell phone number list of the new law will negatively affect the taxi and aggregator market. "It lags behind the level of digitalization of the taxi industry, does not comply with the principle of validity and feasibility of the requirements introduced, and threatens the existence of the technological infrastructure of the market. The main problem with the bill is that the same mandatory requirements are imposed on self-employed carriers as on taxi companies. Objectively, the self-employed will not be able to fulfill all the requirements: daily medical examinations, motor third-party liability insurance at the taxi rate, compliance with the color scheme of taxi cars established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and the execution of a waybill. The economy of the self-employed is such that the costs of this will be equal to or exceed the potential income. This means that they will remain outside the law. The scale of the problem is that the taxi market is 90% based on self-employed drivers with personal cars, - he says. - At the same time, the law establishes legal grounds for blocking the websites and applications of aggregators for transferring orders to persons without a permit to operate a taxi. Thus, self-employed carriers will either be left without work or will return to the practice of searching for passengers on the street, through social networks, messengers. Naturally, the departure of such a number of carriers from the market controlled by aggregators will lead to a sharp increase in the cost of trips. At the same time, the state will receive a multiple increase in the illegal sector, and with it - risks to the lives and property of drivers and passengers, the absence of any external control, material guarantees of aggregators, who today have insurance and non-insurance mechanisms for compensation for damage. Few people think that street crime will return, the ground for which affordable taxis have been knocking out for many years. And all this under talk about safety."
