Improving the Organization of Taxi Transportation System

The existing system of taxi transportation in the Russian Federation is arranged in such a way that the bulk of the traffic is carried out by so-called aggregators that provide information services to drivers and passengers while they are not carriers by themselves. Thus, most of the passengers are carried out by the drivers with no permission for this kind of activity, that has bad influence on the safety of passengers and road safety in general. Aggregators are increasingly forcing taxi companies out of the market. At the same time, the legal status, rules of activity and responsibility of aggregators are not defined by the current legislation. This article presents the results of the research aimed at improving the existing system of taxi transportation in order to enhance its security.
