🚕 Taxi drivers in Kyiv banned from "surging" prices during air raid alerts: details
The Ministry of Infrastructure and the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine signed a memorandum with taxi-hailing services Bolt, Uklon, Uber and OPTI to prevent critical increases in fares for transportation in Kyiv.
As Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi reported, this concerns raising taxi fares during an alert, suspension of public transport service, in particular the metro, or other force majeure events related to logistics in the capital.
"The memorandum with the operators foresees setting a ceiling to which the price can rise under such conditions. This is a maximum of 75% above the base fare," Koretskyi explained.
So if the base fare under normal conditions—without alerts, traffic jams, etc.—from point A to point B is, say, 200 UAH, then the maximum charge will be 350 UAH. If 300 UAH, then the maximum is 525 UAH.
At the same time, Koretskyi said, passengers will retain the ability to set the price themselves, but caps will also be put in place.
The price restrictions will apply for at least two hours after the all-clear for a "red" level alert or until normal public transport service and bridge traffic are restored.
Koretskyi emphasized that he will closely monitor compliance with the above rules.
