Yesterday morning, several dozen taxi drivers went on a protest with
their cars. They gathered near the ring road situated in the
neigborhood the Heat-Electric Generating Plant. From there, they moved
towards the building of the Government.
Let’s note that the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, in
conjunction with the Police, has been recently carrying out inspection
work throughout the republic with the purpose of preventing the illegal
transportation of passengers and regulating the licensing procedures of
the taxi services.
`There are numerous taxis that use white number plates instead of the
yellow ones approved by the Government, that’s to say, they continue
carrying out illegal transportation of passengers,’ the representative
of the Ministry mentioned.
