The commitment of politicians to radically fight chaotic taxis services by setting fixed prices could be a fiasco. At the same time, fixing tariff ceilings could be a problem, acknowledged the head of the working group.

"We have a somewhat complicated situation in terms of tariff regulation, because the restriction of competition is complex and complex, the other is the question, of course, of guaranteeing a guaranteed service price on at least some relevant routes. for the public. We are trying to agree that we are setting such tariff caps on certain roads, "said Eric Eglitis, state secretary at the Department of the Interior

In the working group, many were supported by the proposal to establish criteria for working in strategically important locations.

The latest proposal will be similar to the one that The airport had already presented. decision. This time, the choice would be made by law, but the number of companies that could provide services could be higher.
