Approximately half of the taxis in the region operate illegally
Today, about 7,000 taxi drivers work in the Tomsk region, and only recently the 5,000th official permit to provide taxi services was issued. Therefore, regional authorities, together with law enforcement agencies and taxi driver associations, are developing a comprehensive program of measures to combat illegal taxi drivers. The director of the Tomsk Taxi Association, Vladimir Romanov, told the TV2 news agency about this.
