ARMENIAN DRIVERS UNION HEAR SKEPTICAL ON BANNING TAXIS' YELLOW PLATES
YEREVAN, March 14. /ARKA/. Head of Armenian Drivers Union Tigran
Hovhannisyan told reporters on Thursday he is very skeptical about
the intention of Traffic Police to replace yellow number plates on
taxis with white ones.
This initiative is included in the package of the government's
legislative proposals related to licensing in public transport area.
The Traffic Police intend to tighten grip upon taxis. All the necessary
papers with special protection must be fastened on the rear window.
"Taxi drivers are concerned that this new shift to white plates
will deprive them of their competitive advantages. Passengers got
used to yellow plates which prove the legal operation of taxis,"
Hovhannisyan said.
He noted the shift should be processed on a voluntarily basis and
added that taxis should be regulated the same way as other public
transport is.
According to him, regional administrations and Ministry of Transport
and Communications should be in charge of such regulations. -0-
