A senior official from the Ministry of Economic Development outlined plans for a forward-looking database project. The statement, reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, describes an online platform that will host reliable information about vehicles operating as taxis. This initiative aims to provide clear visibility into the taxi market and help both regulators and fleet operators monitor vehicle status and compliance across the country.
The proposed register is expected to include every car currently working with official taxi services. The goal is to give used-car buyers a comprehensive, transparent view of a vehicle’s history, including key details about past owners and service records. With this resource, a potential buyer can quickly verify ownership transfers, mileage notes, and any notable incidents that might affect value or reliability. The database is designed to be user-friendly, enabling straightforward search and quick access to essential history data that matters to buyers, sellers, and lenders alike. This enhanced transparency could raise overall confidence in the secondary market for taxi vehicles.
Additionally, a second database is anticipated to be created to centralize all regulatory decisions related to taxi operations. This second repository will compile the full spectrum of legal solutions, rulings, and administrative guidelines applicable to taxi services. By systematically organizing legal acts, interpretations, and standards, the system will serve as a single point of reference for market participants, policymakers, and compliance professionals, reducing ambiguity and helping to ensure adherence to evolving rules. The completion of this dual-project effort is targeted for year-end, with phased rollouts to begin once foundational data structures are in place.
- It is worth noting that the X International Eurasian Taxi Forum is currently hosted in Moscow. The forum’s outcomes are expected to inform a public resolution that will be reviewed by the State Duma as part of the broader process of drafting new federal legislation governing taxi services.
- Updates and insights from the forum can also be accessed through official messaging channels, where timely summaries are shared for participants and observers alike.
