The Moscow Ministry of Transport has issued a request to all major ride-hailing providers and taxi operators across the capital, urging restraint on price hikes during the festive season and the winter holidays. The directive emphasizes that affordability matters just as much as reliability, especially when the city is busy with celebrations and visitors from out of town. The aim is to keep taxi services predictable and accessible, so residents and guests can move around with ease even during peak travel times.
As stated by Maxim Liksutov, the deputy mayor responsible for transport, the priority is clear: taxi services should be safe, convenient, and available to the broadest possible segment of the population. The city recognizes the role taxis play in transportation networks and seeks to ensure that people can rely on them without facing unexpected cost increases during busy periods.
On average, taxis and ride-hailing options carry a substantial share of the city’s daily travel. The administration notes that millions of trips are completed every week, highlighting the importance of stable pricing and dependable service for both residents and visitors who rely on taxis for late-night outings, early commutes, or simple, practical mobility during holiday gatherings. The message to aggregators is straightforward: maintain customary pricing so that riders can plan their budgets with confidence during high-demand moments when every minute counts.
