The new initiative of the Ministry of Economy - long-distance carriers learned about terms of license today.
Economy Ministry has drafted a bill, according to which in order to get a work permit, vehicle owners should have 5 thousand lari on their bank account.

Drivers say that in case of such requirement they will have to stop working.

Why it is necessary to obtain financial guarantees from drivers is incomprehensible for the coalition Social Initiative.

Vasil Urushadze believes that the introduction of long-distance licenses which will contribute to the monopolization of the market only.

Experts believe that the changes are introduced in favor of large companies; though, the Ministry of Economy claims that the initiative will guarantee the security of several thousand passengers.

According to legislative changes, drivers are required to have relevant diplomas or certificates, but specifically what documents are required is not specified.
