The website Modern.az writes about the relations of taxi drivers with tourists and the level of their service.
Taxi drivers often cheat foreigners, at times inflating the price for travel, which is a shameful fact. Therefore, a new concept is being developed that will prevent deception of foreigners using taxi services from the airport to the city.
According to the new concept, the negotiation of the fare between the driver and the tourist will be eliminated, since appropriate tariffs will be introduced and concrete measures will be taken. -0---
