According to the head of the transport committee, Valentin Enokaev, the federal law on taxi transportation, adopted in 2022, as one of the goals should save passengers from “intrusive young people with signs in the arrivals area” who offer services at an inflated cost.
Now at Pulkovo airport; (St. Petersburg), a special platform for taxis will appear inside the terminal area, which will be ready to accept an order.
The system will work as follows: a passenger who is at the airport calls a taxi, the service answers him: “Your the taxi is ready, when you get out — press the button, we will say the number” – after which the passenger approaches the car standing in line.
Thus, the wait will be less than a minute, which will avoid a large congestion of cars in the exit area, and passengers will no longer you will have to languish in a long wait.
A similar system has already been tested in Sochi.
