In Azerbaijan, the regulation of taxi services and the licensing
of drivers are overseen by the Azerbaijan Surface transport Agency
(AYNA), which operates under the Ministry of Digital Development
and Transport.
Recently, there has been a significant development in the taxi
sector, with 11,696 drivers receiving official permission, known as
the "Permission card," to conduct taxi activities. This permission
is essential for drivers who wish to operate legally within the
country's taxi service framework.
The Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, through AYNA,
has been actively involved in implementing and enforcing
regulations aimed at improving the standards and safety of taxi
services. This includes setting requirements for the technical
specifications and internal and external design of vehicles used
for both regular passenger transport and taxi services.
The initiative to regulate taxi activities more rigorously was
underscored by the Cabinet of Ministers' approval on March 28 of
specific requirements governing the technical standards and design
parameters for vehicles used in taxi and regular passenger
transport. These regulations aim to enhance passenger safety,
standardise vehicle quality, and ensure a more structured approach
to the operation of taxi services across Azerbaijan.
The recent increase in licenced taxi drivers and the
introduction of stricter regulatory measures reflect Azerbaijan's
ongoing efforts to modernise its transportation sector and improve
service quality for both residents and visitors alike.
