New Regulations for Taxi drivers, Mayor"s Initiative and Unhappy Drivers - Opposition Blames Kaladze in Populism

One man"s protest at the Tbilisi City Hall - a driver, who has been driving a taxi for years, has come to protest against the regulation of the city hall, which obliges taxes to be painted white.

No one from the City Hall came out to meet with Boris Akopian. Accordingly, he, like other taxi drivers, was not able to speak to Kakhi Kaladze to express his mistrust.

It is about the statement of Mayor, according to which all the taxi drivers, who take the license before October 10, pass the technical inspection and have a 4-door car with a left wheel, will receive a voucher as a gift from the City Hall for painting the car. In exchange, drivers must place the ad sticker for two years.

There was a noise in Tbilisi City Council while considering this initiative of Mayor. The opposition called Kakhi Kaladze"s statement "populist", which was followed by controversy.

Today there are 12 thousand registered taxis in Tbilisi, painting of one car on average casts 1000 GEL, ie, the initiative of the City Hall will cost around 12 million.
