Moscow Taxi Drivers
History taxi Moscow. History of a taxi in Moscow begins in 1920 when, after the destruction of all taxi companies and the confiscation of all the taxis in 1917, the government decided to revive this kind of business. The first taxi on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg began to cars, Fiat and Renault, while these companies have worked to create vehicles specifically designed for use as taxis. In 1912, in St. Petersburg was already about 330 taxis in Moscow, their number was about 220, and in other cities, the number of taxi is less than ten. A gradual increase in the number of taxis was observed before the October Revolution of 1917, when a taxi was almost ceased to exist Russia. But in 1924 it was decided to purchase cars for taxis in France, but there were only about a dozen, and clearly not enough for the needs of the city.
Thus, it was to increase the number of taxis, which by 1926 is 200 units. At the time, there are no private taxis, even in the heyday of the NEP, all taxis belonged only to the state. It would seem that it is quite normal for the system in those years, but from the very beginning of the case to the state was one of the main drawback is the lack of control over its implementation. There have been attempts by the authorities begin to control the operation of taxis, the first of these was the installation of the device for cars 'Autograph', which records all the data Travel: speed, motion, stop, total mileage and distance from each trip.
