By Dmitry Titov: Serious requirements will be imposed on the sanitary condition of taxi vehicles and taxi driver uniform. Besides, information on taxi rates will appear at passenger stations.
Every month, Minsk taxi services are used by about 1 million people. During the Ice Hockey World Championship in May, this figure is expected to increase at least threefold. Currently, there are about 7,000 taxis in Minsk. A minimum taxi fare in Minsk makes up about 4,500 Br. Earlier this year, a memorandum has been signed, according to which taxi fares will not increase throughout the World Championship. Most taxi services adhere to these standards.
