Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov (LDPR) said that inflated prices for “children’s” taxi fares are unreasonable. His words lead the way RIA Novosti.
The deputy sent an appeal to the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) Maxim Shaskolsky with a request to check the validity of such prices. As one of the justifications for such a measure, the politician noted that a significant difference in the tariff price (up to several times) is unreasonable, since “child” and “economy” tariffs are often offered by drivers with the same characteristics. car.
“This situation raises serious questions, because the mere presence of a child seat cannot be the basis for a significant increase in the cost of the service,” he emphasized.
According to the MP, the costs of accessing taxis for families with children should be covered by a taxi company or taxi aggregator. To ensure this, Chernyshov proposed that aggregators establish a zero aggregator commission for “children” tariffs.
“This approach will make travel more affordable for drivers and reduce the cost burden on parents, creating a fairer system,” he said.
