According to the company, the leading regions in the growth of proposed salaries for taxi drivers in 2024 were the Altai and Primorsky Territories with indicators of 137.7 thousand rubles (an increase of 36% year-on-year) and 133.8 thousand rubles (+ 32%) respectively.

At the same time, analysts noted that in vacancies for taxi drivers, employers often indicate salary ranges taking into account maximum values, and actual earnings depend on the number of hours worked, orders, tariffs and other parameters.

In early January, Kommersant, citing the analytical service Kontur.Focus, wrote that the number of registrations of new companies and individual entrepreneurs in the taxi industry in 2024 decreased by 20% due to stricter requirements for taxi drivers, low unemployment and rising car prices. .

The first deputy chairman of the Duma Control Committee, Dmitri Gusev, suggested that entrepreneurs are delaying their entry into the market due to the new law that came into force in September 2023. It increases requirements for companies and establishes, in particular, Mandatory daily medical examinations for drivers and technical inspections of vehicles.
