At its session on January 5, 2011 the Sejm adopted an act which is to change the act on road transportation. With the new regulations the Sejm intends to open the market of taxi services through abolishing limitation in the number of taxi licences granted by municipality councils.
The changes also concern the definition of occasional transportation service, which so far has been used to dodge the law on taxi licences.
The above act should result in eliminating the so-called “transport of persons” from the market, i.e. companies and individuals providing passenger transportation services with passenger cars without any taxi licence and, consequently, without meeting the relevant qualification and safety requirements.
