Taxis without immigrants: will there be enough local drivers and what will happen to prices?
From 2027, foreigners will have limited access to work in taxis in eight regions at once. On the list: Tatarstan, Mordovia, Hubshaya, Udmurtia, Sverdlovsk, Orenburg, Ulyanovsk and Jewish autonomous regions. In Kaluga, immigrants will be prohibited from working even as couriers. The Ministry of Labor has already approved the project, only Mishustin's signature remains. The reason for the restrictions is that there are too many accidents with immigrant drivers, and the shadow market continues to grow. But not everything is so simple.
Would travel be safer if foreigners were removed? Which of them will not be affected by the work ban? Who will replace the immigrants due to the evacuation of parking lots? And how will these bans affect travel prices for the average passenger?
