    YELLOW OR WHITE?: TAXI SERVICE OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT FREQUENTLY CHANGING LICENSING LAWS

    Starting from December 25, 2014 yellow taxi license plates have
    again been replaced by white plates, a process not welcomed by all
    in the sphere.

    "The cause for the change was the objective of simplifying the process
    of receiving licenses for the private sector at least. Law-abiding
    citizens had received licenses according to the old law, but there
    were some who organized protests, certainly the law was not perfect
    before, it is not today, either," Vahagn Sahakyan, head of the branch
    union of Armenia's Taxi Service Employers, told reporters Monday.

    According to Sahakyan, the situation with having both yellow and white
    license plates created problems during the crossing of the Armenian
    border, but later agreement was reached with Georgia that settled
    the issue and yellow license plates in Armenia were also considered
    legal in the neighboring state.

    As for the state demands, the head of the union added" "State demands
    mostly include questions regarding taxi car furnishing, as well as
    speedometers, documents confirming their exactness and external and
    internal decoration items."

    Lyova Avetisyan, owner of the Bravo+ taxi service, thinks that the
    new law is good for individuals from every point of view, but not
    for organizations.

    "If the cost of the license for individuals is 12,000AMD (about $25),
    for us it remains the same, 30,000 AMD, because every car is registered
    and that car will pay for the license," Avetisyan said.

    Field specialists said that having yellow license plates is correct,
    because there has been created trust among people toward taxis with
    yellow license plates.
