05.12.2010
Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Alexandar Tsvetkov inspected today the new organization of taxi transport to the airport.
I hope that this new organization will minimize cases in which taxi drivers abuse the ignorance of customers and ride of speculative high prices, said Minister Alexandar Tsvetkov. A patrol car of the State Automobile Inspectorate will be at the airport on duty 24 hours a day until the end of the Christmas holidays, Tsvetkov pointed out, adding the checks will be permanent and the violators punished.
The Minister appeals to all customers to call (359 2) 930 88 94 to alert authorities of taxi cab rip-offs to the executive agency. If a driver from one of the two taxi companies that operate at the airport has deceived a client, the contract of the company will be, explained the Minister.
The new Automobile Transport Bill, to be passed in the Parliament before the end of the month, will put an end on the fraud because the municipal councils will set the price cap while fines would go up to BGN 3 000, said Minister Tsvetkov. |
