April 28, Fineko/abc.az. In recent days, there has been an increase in taxi prices. This is confirmed by both drivers and passengers.

ABC.AZ reports that the closure of central roads because of F1 races is indicated as the reason.

Citizens report that the price increase in each taxi company is different. The overall growth is up to 40%.

Taxi drivers also report that there are other reasons for the price increase.

They even say that because of the high price, some drivers refuse this direction when customers come across.

We contacted the taxi service about this. According to the head of one of the companies, Emin Alizadeh, they did not go for any price increase. Currently, the company is experiencing an increase in prices only during peak hours.

Another taxi company confirmed that prices have been rising in them in recent days. The reason for this is the closure of roads associated with racing, and the increase in gasoline consumption.
