Enhanced Taxi Safety: New Rules for Drivers and Apps
This bill introduces new safety regulations for taxi passengers. Drivers will be required to provide criminal record checks, including from abroad, and ride-hailing apps will need to store this data. Additionally, taxi fare meters, if software-based, must be permanently linked to the fare calculation app and undergo regular inspections.
Key points
Taxi drivers will need to provide criminal record checks for offenses against life, health, sexual freedom, morality, and drug-related crimes, including from countries where they resided for the last 20 years.
Intermediary companies facilitating taxi services (e.g., via apps) will be required to keep these certificates on file.
Software-based taxi fare meters must be permanently linked to the fare calculation app and undergo mandatory technical inspections.
Psychological examinations for taxi drivers will be conducted in the official language, without third-party involvement.
Existing taxi drivers will have 60 days from the law's effective date to submit the required certificates.
