In Yekaterinburg, it was proposed to ban migrants from working as taxi drivers.
In Yekaterinburg a proposal was made to limit migrants' ability to work in the taxi sector. The initiative was put forward by mayoral candidate Irina Vinogradova.
“We remain the only region in the Ural Federal District where a bill prohibiting migrants from working in taxis has not yet been adopted. This is a matter of safety and passengers’ personal comfort, especially when it comes to women who use taxis late at night,” Vinogradova said on the "Parliamentary Time" program on OTV.
According to her, drivers from outside the region are involved in the majority of taxi-related incidents. At the same time, the politician does not rule out that migrants can work in this field, but only after meeting a number of conditions — obtaining Russian driving licenses, gaining experience in the country, and having no accidents on their driving record.
