International Eurasian forum "Taxi" was held in St. Petersburg on 8 and 9 August 2013.During the working sessions, speakers raised the most topical issues of the modern taxi areas discussed peculiarities of legal regulation and the positive aspects of the use of modern technologies.
Recently lawmakers obsessed with reform of taxi operations.The problem is that the adopted laws and amendments have caused mixed reactions taxi community.Many of the reviews on the Internet critical of adoption of the Federal Law №69, popularly called the "law of the taxi."Part of the law entered into force in the summer of 2012, but in full force earned just now.
about the results of the "law of the taxi" and peculiarities of legal regulation of the sphere of taxi in the city of St. Petersburg on the forum said Stanislav Popov - Chairman of the Committee on Transport of St. Petersburg.He noted a number of important legislative aspects and resulted in an impressive number of statistical data.For example, in the diagram shown Stanislav Vladimirovich has been shown that the smallest percentage of obtaining official licenses to perform taxi activity falls in 2012, when the Federal Law №69 first began its work.
But more important was the comparative data on the advantages and disadvantages of laws taxi before and after the adoption of the "Law of the taxi."It turned out that it was previously advantages than disadvantages.For example, the law refers to the disadvantages of the lack of opportunities to attract carriers to the administrative responsibility for the lack of agreement and lack of authority to establish the color car coloring.And if the first flaw can be considered serious, the second hardly anyone considers essential.With the adoption in 2011 of the Federal Law №69 able to move in the column pros cons, but the list of deficiencies widened: the lack of provisions on the regulation of dispatching services, the lack of authority to regulate the work of organized taxi stands and more.How much all this cost the opportunity to take a single color it makes no sense to judge.
need only say that this is more of a desire to emulate the US and Europe, where taxis can only be yellow.But do not forget - these countries practice uniform color and there is a tradition for many decades.In the US, like most associated with one of the first official taxi services, which was called the Yellow Cab Co.(hence the yellow color).In the states of the taxi drivers are deliberately trying to paint a car in yellow, because it inspires confidence among customers and promotes recognition taxi in city traffic.In Russia there is no such deep-rooted traditions.
situation with current law in the taxi said company spokesman MADIV - a partner of the International Eurasian Forum «Taxi»:
- Indeed, the law fell in love is not everything.Even if we look at the statistics, we can conclude that with the entry into force of the law reduced the number of drivers who want to get a license.Of course, compared with 2012, the show has grown.But it is rather related to the growth of the market of taxi services in the country.Since then, as MADIV and other similar companies have started their activities, taxi services is becoming more and in large and small cities.The forum has heard proposals to admit taxi public transport.And it is right.Pursuing the development of technical solutions, MADIV also monitored and the overall development of the taxi market.He developed more than good, approaching the western type.Artificial stimulation of introducing unnecessary regulations, such as color consistency not speed but rather slow down progress.
While the new law is working in full force less than six months, and make long-term projections early.But the findings of the need of another round of legal reform of the Eurasian forum sounded 2013.
