In 15 years, the capital has managed to fully legalize the taxi market. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about how the passenger transportation service is developing in the city in his telegram channel.
“Today, almost 200 thousand work in Moscow and the Moscow region – the fleet has grown by 15 percent in the last year alone. The average age of the car is only 3.2 years. This is one of the youngest taxi fleets in Europe,” the Moscow Mayor wrote.

In 2024, more than 632 million passengers used taxis. This is a record figure: daily passenger traffic reached 1.73 million people.
The last 15 years have seen the revival of Moscow taxis. Particular attention is paid to the quality of service and safety. Since 2024, the city has been certifying taxi drivers, and since March 1, 2025, it has become mandatory. All active drivers in the region have already passed the exam. This guarantees that a real professional who knows the city, follows traffic rules and understands what to do in an emergency will come to the passenger. In 2021, Moscow was the first in the country to introduce a comprehensive information system “Taxi Operation Analytics” (KIS “ART”) – thanks to it, today passengers can be sure that only conscientious specialists go out on the line.
From September 1, 2023, under the new law, taxi ordering services are responsible to passengers. They ensure that only qualified drivers are behind the wheel of the car. In addition, with the participation of city and federal agencies, preventive checks are carried out to identify illegal taxis – in late March and early April, they were carried out in the Southern Administrative District of the capital.
There is a platform for taxi service owners “Open Control”, where you can get free consultations and check your taxi fleet for compliance with mandatory requirements.

Since 2012, the city has been providing financial support to taxi companies. Thus, over 13 years, they have been compensated for part of the costs of purchasing more than 92 thousand cars. The total amount of subsidies was 2.49 billion rubles. The funds are allocated for the purchase of cars that meet the fifth or sixth environmental classes, as well as electric cars manufactured in Moscow (for them, an increasing coefficient of 2.5 applies). The new cars make passenger trips not only comfortable, but also safer.
In the future, there is a transition to environmentally friendly transport. It is planned that by 2030, about half of the taxi fleet will be electric vehicles – comfortable and having a lower impact on the environment.
“We see the result: since 2019, the number of accidents involving taxis has decreased by four percent. Our task is to develop a modern, safe and convenient service that meets international standards,” concluded Sergei Sobyanin.
