Also the taxi service was required to give PUBLISHED data on the movement of all connected to the system of taxis. All information will be anonymised. The data should help in improving the work of the Moscow transport system.

As a result of negotiations, Uber has agreed to comply with requirements of officials. On the introduction of innovations the company received 90 days. After this period, the taxi service needs to completely change.

According to Moscow authorities, the displacement of the market of passenger transportation drivers-illegals will improve the safety of taxi clients. The number of offences with participation should decline.
