A large network of Telegram channels has appeared in Russia to order a taxi bypassing aggregators
At the end of September 2024, it became known that a large-scale network of Telegram channels and groups in social networks was formed in Russia to order a taxi bypassing official aggregators. According to the analytical agency Pressindex, 234 groups and 29 chat bots for calling a taxi are registered in the popular Telegram messenger, and there are 3.8 thousand groups for ordering a taxi and organizing joint trips on the VKontakte social network.
According to Kommersant, the increase in the number of illegal taxi ordering services is caused by several factors. Among them are a significant increase in prices for the services of legal carriers, high commissions for aggregators and tougher requirements for drivers. According to Rosstat, in July 2024, the cost of a taxi fare per 1 km increased by 26% compared to the same period last year and reached 43.11 ₽.
Valery Korneev, chairman of the Digital World Digital Platform Users Union, notes that illegally working drivers can offer passengers prices at least twice as low as official tariffs. This is due to the fact that they do not pay a commission to aggregators, which makes up 20-30% of revenue, and do not bear the cost of renting cars from taxi companies.
Arseniy Shcheltsin, general director of ANO Digital Platforms, in an appeal to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, expressed concern about the growth of the gray taxi market on the Internet. According to him, orders through illegal channels pose a danger to the life and health of both drivers and passengers, since orders and trips are not registered, and carriers are not listed in state registers.
Arseniy Shcheltsin connects the growth of the illegal taxi market with tougher requirements for drivers. The Taxi Law, which entered into force in 2022, equalized the rights and obligations of large taxi companies and private drivers working in private cars. Valery Korneev emphasizes that the latter are physically unable to fulfill all the requirements for the legalization of their activities, including daily medical examinations and technical examinations.[1]
Yandex: Russia lacks 130 thousand taxi drivers
Russia There are not enough 130 thousand taxi drivers. This was reported in "" in Yandex early September 2024.
Anton Petrakov, director of corporate relations and relations with government bodies at Yandex.Taxi, noted that the shortage of personnel in the industry is growing, including due to tightening migration policy and regulation of taxi activities. Because of this, drivers are moving to other areas with comparable incomes, but fewer requirements and expenses, he added.
2023
Taxi Market Growth 8% to 3.29 Billion Rides
In 2023, the number of taxi trips in Russia increased to 3.29 billion, which is 8% more than in 2022. The total volume of transactions on bank cards for taxi services reached ₽26,7 billion with 75 million transactions. This became known in October 2024.
According to Businessesstat, the growth in demand is due to an increase in the mobility of citizens, the development of business activity in an offline format and an increase in domestic tourism. A significant number of passengers use taxis to travel to airports.
According to VTB, the most active growth in indicators was recorded in the regions of the North Caucasus, where the number of trips increased by 18%, and in the south of Russia with an increase of 15%. In the Far East and the Volga region, growth was 12% and 11%, respectively, while in the North-West region, Siberia and Central Russia, indicators increased by 3%, 5% and 7%.
A quarter of all transactions are in Moscow, where the highest cost of a trip is recorded - ₽618. In St. Petersburg, the average check is ₽495. The most affordable tariffs are noted in the North Caucasus - ₽198, in the Volga region - ₽250 and in the south of the country - ₽267.
The dynamics of the taxi market is showing steady growth since 2020, when the number of trips was 3.08 billion. In 2021, the figure reached 3.37 billion trips, after which in 2022 there was a temporary decrease to 3.05 billion.
VTB Bank experts predict that in 2024 the number of trips may remain at the level of 2023 with the possibility of a slight increase, while the dynamics will depend on the activity of the tourist season.
The development of the market is facilitated by the active activities of taxi aggregators, which continue to improve the order system and reduce the delivery time of cars. The growing popularity of taxis is also explained by the desire of citizens to save time and reduce the wear and tear of personal cars.[2]
Taxi transportation market in Russia reached ₽1 trillion by the end of the year
The volume of the taxi transportation market in Russia reached ₽1 trillion by the end of 2023. This amount is about 0.6% of Russia's GDP, which indicates a significant contribution of the industry to the national economy, said Irina Zaripova, chairman of the public council for taxi development, in October 2024.
According to her, the achieved indicator reflects the volume of traffic in monetary terms. The expert emphasized the importance of the taxi industry for the Russian economy, pointing to its significant share in the GDP structure.
According to a study by the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation, in 2023 there was a shortage of taxi cars, which amounted to 21.4% compared to the level of 2021. The shortage of cars in the economy class was especially acute. The average cost of a new car of the "comfort" class, taking into account leasing, increased by 43% compared to 2021.
It is also noted that the number of existing permits for taxi activities decreased by 13.6% by September 2023. At the same time, the shortage of drivers in the industry amounted to 72 thousand people. The strongest reduction in the number of drivers was observed outside the million-plus cities, where the decline reached 36-44%.
Despite the difficulties, the average cost of a trip has increased by 23-29% since 2021. The share of the driver's income from total revenue remained at about 47% excluding taxes. Driver expenses increased by an average of one and a half times in two years, which was reflected in the level of prices for trips.
By September 2023, only 68% of the regions had created existing regional registers of passenger taxis, carriers and ordering services. This indicates the need to further improve the regulatory framework of the industry.[3]
The cost of a taxi trip in Russia reached a maximum in 10 years - 32.52 rubles per 1 km
The cost of 1 km of taxi travel reached record values from 2014 to 2023, in June 2023 it amounted to 32.53 ruble per 1 km. This is evidenced by the data Rosstat released in August 2023.
As RBC writes with reference to the materials of the department, since the beginning of April 2021, prices for taxi trips have begun to rise continuously. Then the average cost of a trip per 1 km of track was 25.69 rubles. The strongest increase was recorded in the first half of 2023 - in June, taxi services went up by 4.03% compared to January.
According to ChekIndex, the average check of taxi costs in Russia for the first half of 2023 amounted to 435 rubles, which is 4% more than the same period in 2022. In Moscow, the average check was 771 rubles, an increase of 12%.
In reality, taxi prices have increased even more than Rosstat indicates - by about 35% in the regions and by 40% in Moscow, Pavel Stennikov, press secretary of the Maxim service, told the publication. According to him, among the reasons for the rise in price are the rise in prices for cars and their service due to sanctions. Carriers bought most of the cars even before the pandemic, now their service life is coming to an end or they have already retired, a company representative said. He added that even the most budget cars, which cost up to 1 million rubles three years ago, have now risen in price by at least 1 million rubles.
The representative of Citymobil, in a conversation with RBC, predicted a further price increase of up to 30%. According to him, this is due to the taxi law adopted at the end of 2022, obliging drivers to have OSAGO at the rate for carriers. And this policy is much more expensive than regular car insurance. A decrease in prices for taxi services will not be observed very soon, since it will be possible only in the event of falling prices for cars or weakening in the legislation, which is not yet expected, the source concluded.[4]
Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation creates GIS taxi
In May 2023, it became known about the work carried out by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation to create a federal state information system for passenger taxis. The agency has developed provisions for this platform. Read more here.
FSB requested "round-the-clock access" to data on geolocation and payments in a taxi
The Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation is going to get constant access to information systems and databases of taxi aggregators. This became known at the end of March 2023.
 | The passenger taxi ordering service<...> provides a division of the FSB body<...> with round-the-clock remote access to information systems and databases used to receive, store, process and transfer passenger taxi orders, the document published on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts says. |  |
The FSB also proposes to expand the list of such data. It can include electronic monitoring of geolocation and data on what taxi passengers pay, including plastic cards.
If the aggregator cannot fulfill the FSB request, then it must justify the reason for the impossibility of providing data and inform the service about the deadlines necessary to fulfill the request. The taxi ordering service will have to provide information to the FSB within ten working days, but if there is an "urgent" note in the request, within three working days, RBC reports with reference to the project developed by the FSB.
The data indicated in the document is now being collected by car taxi aggregators, which belong to "organizers of information dissemination (ARI) on the Internet," Stanislav Shvagerus, head of the competence center of the International Eurasian Taxi Forum, said in an interview with Vedomosti.
| | Those who are included in the ARI register, and so provide information. Now, if the document is accepted, everyone will provide it, - a source in one of the federal aggregators confirmed to the newspaper. | |
The FSB initiative will force all market players to rewrite their systems and databases, Anton Shaparin, vice president of the National Automobile Union, told the publication.
| | I'm not sure that all this taxi information is generally available, and I'm not sure that in the current conditions it should be collected, "the expert said.[5] | |
2022
Market reduction by 0.5% to 985.1 billion rubles
The revenue of taxi operators in Russia in 2022 amounted to 985.1 billion rubles, which is slightly less than a year ago (990 billion rubles). Such data in June 2023 led BusinesStat analysts.
According to them, the volume of turnover in the market depends on the demand and pricing for taxi services. Taxi market participants are aggregators, legal drivers, illegal drivers and taxi companies.
According to the study, in 2022, demand for taxi services fell amid rising prices and a reduction in the number of solvent audiences. At the same time, the weighted average price for taxi services in 2022 increased below the inflation rate. Market operators held back the rise in travel fares to maintain a customer base. Consumers redistributed demand towards the economy taxi segment. The average length of the trip has been reduced.
Analysts also note that in 2022, after the stabilization of the epidemiological situation, the number of taxi employees recovered to 696.1 thousand people, which turned out to be 3.9% lower than the maximum figure in 2019. According to the results of a joint study of vacancies for Avito Rabota taxi drivers and the Salary Index, the increase in the number of employed workers is associated with high staff rotation and the fact that taxi companies have begun to look for drivers more often on online platforms.
According to BusinesStat estimates, in 2022, 4.3 thousand organizations provided taxi services in Russia, most of which were private (85.7% of the total number of taxi services). The high number of commercial enterprises is explained by the lack of government restrictions on the number of permits issued and measures to regulate tariffs. This leads to an increase in small business and competition in the market, the report emphasizes.[6]
Putin granted the FSB access to taxi bases
In December 2022, the president Russia Vladimir Putin signed a law regulating taxi operations. The document, in particular, obliges taxi services to provide FSB access to databases with passenger taxi orders.
From September 1, 2023, taxi aggregators will have to share with the FSB or its territorial authorities access to databases and information systems that are used to process customer orders.
The law also introduces the concepts of "passenger taxi" and "passenger taxi ordering service." According to the law, passenger and baggage transportation activities by passenger taxis are carried out on the basis of a permit provided to a legal entity, individual entrepreneur or individual.
The carrier has the right to carry passengers and luggage only in the region where it received permission. The exception includes cases where the point of departure is located in the territory of this region and the destination is located in another, or if the permission of one region is valid in the territory of another without restrictions.
The document also establishes requirements for the appearance and interior of the car. Thus, the machine should be marked with a contrasting color scheme, "which is a composition of squares of contrasting color, arranged in a checkerboard order."
An orange light should be installed on the roof of the taxi, and a card with information about the carrier and driver should be installed in the cabin. The information on the card should contain the state registration number of the vehicle, the name of the carrier, the entry number in the regional register of passenger taxi carriers, information on granting the carrier a permit and the validity period of this permit, the carrier's telephone number for receiving complaints and proposals, the surname, first name, patronymic (if any) of the driver, the telephone number of the authorized body. It is also necessary to have information about the current tariffs.
Due to sanctions in Russia, the number of legal taxi drivers decreased by 50 thousand
By June 2022, the number of valid permits for the operation of taxi carriers in Russia amounted to 410 thousand units, which is 50 thousand less than in December 2021. Irina Zaripova, chairman of the Public Council for Taxi Development, disclosed such data in mid-July 2022.
As she told Forbes, most taxi companies deliberately lose their official work permit in order to go into the shadows, some taxi companies sell their cars, close or start renting cars as a rental service.
According to Zaripova, in the regions, small carriers can work with taxi aggregators without relevant documents, and drivers who do not have permits go to "bombings" and work in popular places in cities - at train stations and airports.
In the past three years, the taxi market, on the contrary, has only been "whitewashed" and the number of official taxi drivers has been growing, Stanislav Shvagerus, head of the MEFT Competence Center, told Kommersant (publication of July 14, 2022). According to him, the increase in the number of illegal drivers was primarily influenced by the rise in the cost of cars and spare parts.
{{quote 'The reason is the increased price of OSAGO policies for a passenger taxi. The situation was also affected by a drop in passenger traffic, a rise in the cost of cars and a decrease in the income of carriers. Basically, such a trend is gaining momentum in the regions. Drivers who had permission continue to fulfill orders, but pass like a regular car. The difference in the cost of OSAGO for a taxi car and an ordinary car reaches 10 times, she said. }} Sometimes insurers refuse to take out an insurance policy due to the high accident rate of a passenger taxi. In 2021, the accident rate for ordinary cars was 5.1%, and for taxi cars - 33%.[7]
Adopted in the first reading a bill regulating the work of taxis and their aggregators
At the plenary session, the draft law "On the organization of passenger and baggage transportation by passenger taxi in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts" was adopted in the first reading. This became known on July 5, 2022.
The document, in particular, provides for the possibility of obtaining a permit to work in a taxi by self-employed individuals, subject to the conclusion of an agreement with the service of ordering a passenger taxi. According to the current legislation, the self-employed do not have such an opportunity.
At the same time, the authors of the initiative propose to introduce a number of restrictions when admitting to driving a passenger taxi: a driver cannot be a taxi driver until the expiration of one year from the end of the term of deprivation of his right to drive a car. Also, a person with more than three unpaid administrative fines for traffic violations cannot drive a passenger taxi.
{{quote 'Article 22 of the draft federal law provides for the creation of a federal state information system for passenger taxi registers, within the framework of which the executive authorities of the Russian Federation will be able to form registers provided for by the draft federal law, - said in an explanatory note. }}
It is proposed to establish three such lists: the regional register of taxi ordering services, the regional register of carriers with passenger taxis, as well as the regional register of passenger taxis, which will include information about the vehicles that the carrier has the right to use.
In addition, the document prescribes the obligation of the passenger taxi ordering service to provide the FSB with automated remote access to information systems and databases used to receive, store, process and transfer passenger taxi orders.
The bill also proposes to regulate the issues of joint responsibility of the service for ordering a passenger taxi for damage caused as a result of an accident, and prescribes requirements for the appearance of a taxi. So, the passenger should have on the body "a color scheme of a passenger taxi, which is a composition of contrasting squares arranged in a checkerboard pattern," as well as an orange identification light on the roof.
A passenger taxi is also equipped with a device to control attention and fatigue, drowsiness of the driver, according to the draft law.
In accordance with the legislative initiative, tariffs for the carriage of a passenger taxi, taking into account the time of day, day of the week, comfort class and other features of transportation, are developed by carriers. Also, the calculation of the transportation fee can be carried out in accordance with the readings of the taxometer.
At the same time, a regulatory legal act of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol or a constituent entity of the Russian Federation bordering on them may establish a minimum tariff for the transportation of passengers and baggage, the document says[8].
2021
The volume of the Russian market for legal taxi services increased to 820 billion rubles
The volume of the Russian market for legal taxi services in 2021 amounted to 820 billion rubles against 644 billion rubles in 2020. This is evidenced by the data of the Analytical Center under the Government of Russia, published in April 2022.
In 2021, the Russian taxi market returned to growth after a 9% decline in 2020. In their study, analysts took into account the earnings of legal drivers (in 2021 amounted to about 650 billion rubles), the income of taxi companies and aggregators (about 83 billion rubles each). The center estimated the illegal carriers market at 157 billion rubles, or 16% of the total taxi market, taking into account the legal segment. For comparison: in 2019, illegal taxis accounted for 12% of the transportation market.
Yandex.Taxi (66%) became the leader in earnings among aggregators, and Citymobil (8.3%) and Maxim (7%) also entered the top three. At the same time, market participants interviewed by RBC note that in the context of a new crisis and anti-Russian sanctions, the industry will face a recession. The Israeli service Gett has already announced its departure from the market. Problems are also expected with the growth of payments under lease agreements and the cost of OSAGO. The departure or closure of new companies is not excluded.
Among the main risks for the taxi market are not only a drop in household incomes, but also a high turnover of personnel, Sergei Karavaev, head of the Department of Economics and Transport Development of the Analytical Center under the Government, told RBC. According to him, in recent years, the industry has seen an outflow of drivers from the CIS and an influx of local ones. This trend may continue in 2022, Karavaev said.
According to the representative of "Maxim," they expect that in the new economic conditions the practice of additional payments to drivers will stop and everyone will compete on an equal footing.[9]
Almost all Moscow taxi drivers registered in the system that tracks time behind the wheel
On August 9, 2021, it became known that almost all Moscow taxi drivers registered in a system that tracks driving time. We are talking about the comprehensive information system "Taxi Analytics" (KIS ARTH). Read more here.
From August 2021, a digital profile system for taxi drivers will be launched in Moscow and the Moscow region
The Department of Transport of the capital announced the completion of testing of the electronic registration system for taxi drivers. You can register in the system and receive an individual identifier from May 12, 2021, the press service of the capital's Transport Department reports in May 2021.
The digital profile is a kind of electronic portrait of the driver. It will contain information about whether the driver has a valid license, permission to transport passengers, information about fines, the presence of criminal records, the number of hours worked.
Electronic registration will exclude processing from drivers, restrict access to orders of illegal carriers. First of all, the service will increase the safety of passengers.
All taxi drivers, taxi companies and individual entrepreneurs should be connected to the system, as well as health workers who conduct a pre-trip and post-trip medical examination of taxi company personnel and taxi technical condition controllers.

Creating a single taxi service to help doctors and patients
On November 19, 2020, it became known about the order of the Deputy Prime Minister RUSSIAN FEDERATION Dmitry Chernyshenko to create. a single taxi service to help doctors Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media It will be necessary to work out the possibility of organizing centralized funding for a single taxi service in order to assist in the movement of doctors, the delivery of medicines and basic necessities to citizens undergoing home treatment.

Phaeton service termination
On April 7, 2020, it became known about the termination of the Phaeton service. In the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, people began to use less taxis, which could cause the closure of the Moscow service. Read more here.
2019
Market Research from the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation
Bill on registration of taxi drivers' rights
V August 2019, in the state of California (USA), taxi aggregators were obliged to recognize drivers as full-time employees, which is why services expect large losses.In September 2019, a similar proposal was made to the Russian State Duma. The bill was prepared by an initiative group consisting of the chairman of the Taxi Driver trade union Yaroslav Shcherbinin, a member of the public council under the Ministry of Transport Andrei Popkov, Elena Grashchenkova and Pyotr Shkumatov from the Blue Buckets movement.
Supporters of the initiative believe that the measures they propose will help make the working conditions of drivers fairer and reduce the number of foreigners behind the wheel. Amendments to the Labor Code "will make it possible to recognize the driver as an" actual employee "who" may require the aggregator to conclude an employment contract with him "subject to certain conditions."
A taxi driver recognized as an "actual employee" should not work for other aggregators or third-party customers during working hours. Also among the possible conditions is the use of clothing, a car or other means with the corporate identity of a potential employer. In addition, the employee should not be employed in a company that cooperates with the platform under a direct contract, and cannot be an individual entrepreneur.
Where can this lead?
1) Official labor relations will require taxes, this can make travel more expensive by 10-30%. During the peak, the delivery time of the car will increase.
2) The employment contract will protect the rights of drivers. The aggregator will no longer be able to change working conditions without notifying the driver of this, and will be obliged to receive a quota for foreigners in the employment center.
3) The employment contract will provide taxi drivers with the right to a pension, insurance against accidents at work and sick leave. Such work will become more attractive for Russian citizens.
2018: RUB 671 billion
The analytical center under the Government has released a report on the taxi market in Russia. According to him, after growth in 2015-2017, the market entered a phase of stable development and in 2018 amounted to 671 billion rubles.
The results, however, were predictable - Yandex.Taxi is expected to steer the market with Uber from 24%, the second place is taken by Lucky (11%), then Maxim (8%) and Gett (4%).
This time, the study changed the methodology and took into account the presence of a large share of the black taxi market, which is still significant in the regions - 25-50%.
The market is very competitive, independent of the state and attracts new players. The market employs at least 600,000 people, not including those who worked in taxis temporarily.
Taxi drivers earn well - in the capitals about 83,000 rubles, and in the regions about 63,000 rubles.
2016
According to DISCOVERY Research Group estimates, the taxi (taxi) market in Russia in 2016 will increase by 14.3 billion rubles (+ 4.4%) compared to 2015 and will reach 339 billion rubles. In 2015, it amounted to 324.7 billion rubles.
The analytical center under the Government of the Russian Federation estimated the volume of the taxi (taxi transportation) market in Moscow and the Moscow region in 2015 at 181 billion rubles. Suppose that the average cost of a taxi trip in Moscow is 400 rubles. Then the number of taxi trips made at the volume calculated by the analytical center is 1 million 240 thousand per day. If we take into account the fact that for one taxi trip on average carries more than one passenger, suppose 1.5 passengers, then the average daily passenger traffic will be equal to 1.9 million people with a population of Moscow of 12.3-14.5 million people. Analysts at Discovery Research Group believe that this estimate is overestimated. For comparison, the taxi of New York (the population of all districts of the city is about 8.5 million people) carries about 600 thousand passengers per day. In New York, residents are much more likely to resort to taxi services than in Moscow. We also note that the Moscow metro carries 8-9 million people a day. We get that in New York the ratio of the number of passengers transported to the number of residents of the city is 0.07, and in Moscow 0.14, which in our opinion is excluded. The equality of coefficients for Moscow and New York is achieved with an average trip price in Moscow at 800 rubles, which, according to analysts at Discovery Research Group, is also excluded. It should be borne in mind that for the calculation of coefficients we did not take into account the Moscow region, the market volume of which is estimated, approximately as the 1/6 part of Moscow. In any case, the inclusion of MO in the analysis does not significantly affect the coefficients in question.
The average annual income of one taxi passenger in Russia in 2016 will reach 2914 rubles, an increase of 123 rubles compared to 2015.
Among federal districts, the largest share of the taxi market in Russia in 2016 will be occupied by the Central Federal District - 162.6 billion rubles, followed by the Volga Federal District - 49.2 billion rubles, and then - the North-Western Federal District with revenue of 40.8 billion rubles. The average income brought by one passenger will be highest in the Central Federal District - 5041 rubles, and the lowest will be observed in the North Caucasus Federal District - 1068 rubles.
Among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the largest market shares in 2016 will be occupied by: Moscow - 117.7 billion rubles, St. Petersburg - 33 billion rubles, Moscow region - 21.5 billion rubles, Sverdlovsk region - 8.2 billion rubles, Samara region - 8.1 billion rubles, Republic of Tatarstan - 7.9 billion rubles.
The shadow sector of the taxi market in Russia in 2016 will decrease by 7.5% and amount to 105.1 billion rubles. At the same time, the share of the legal market will grow by 10.8% and reach 233.9 billion rubles.
The largest players in the taxi market in Russian cities are the Vezet, Saturn and Maxim control rooms. They occupy 11%, 9% and 7% of the market, respectively. Mobile aggregators (Yandex.Taxi, GettTaxi, Uber, etc.) account for 5% of the Russian market. In the future, the taxi (taxi) market in Russia will continue to grow, which is due to the lack of strict regulation of the industry by the state and the projected reduction in the share of the shadow sector.
Taxi transportation in cities of Russia with a population of less than 1 million people
In November 2016, the DISCOVERY Research Group marketing agency completed a study of the taxi (taxi) market in cities with a population of less than 1 million people. Currently, in Russia, and in particular in medium and small cities, the taxi transportation market is one of the dynamically developing segments of the transport market.
According to DISCOVERY Research Group estimates, the taxi market in cities with a population of less than 1 million people in 2016 will increase by 4.6 billion rubles, or 4.2% compared to 2015, and will reach 114.1 billion rubles. The largest shares of the taxi market in cities with a population of less than 1 million people in 2016 will belong to the cities: Krasnoyarsk - 3.15 billion rubles, Perm - 3.145 billion rubles, Voronezh - 2.8 billion rubles, Saratov - 2.65 billion rubles. The largest market volume will be occupied by the following subjects of the Russian Federation: Krasnodar Territory - 4.2 billion rubles, Kemerovo Region - 4.1 billion rubles, Krasnoyarsk Territory - 3.7 billion rubles, Perm Territory - 3.5 billion rubles, Saratov Region - 3.2 billion rubles, Voronezh Region - 2.9 billion rubles.
The analytical center under the Government of the Russian Federation estimated the volume of the taxi (taxi transportation) market in Moscow and the Moscow region in 2015 at 181 billion rubles. Suppose that the average cost of a taxi trip in Moscow is 400 rubles. Then the number of taxi trips made at the volume calculated by the analytical center is 1 million 240 thousand per day. If we take into account the fact that for one taxi trip on average carries more than one passenger, suppose 1.5 passengers, then the average daily passenger traffic will be equal to 1.9 million people with a population of Moscow of 12.3-14.5 million people. Analysts at Discovery Research Group believe that this estimate is overestimated. For comparison, the taxi of New York (the population of all districts of the city is about 8.5 million people) carries about 600 thousand passengers per day. In New York, residents are much more likely to resort to taxi services than in Moscow. We also note that the Moscow metro carries 8-9 million people a day. We get that in New York the ratio of the number of passengers transported to the number of residents of the city is 0.07, and in Moscow 0.14, which in our opinion is excluded. The equality of coefficients for Moscow and New York is achieved with an average trip price in Moscow at 800 rubles, which, according to analysts at Discovery Research Group, is also excluded. It should be borne in mind that for the calculation of coefficients we did not take into account the Moscow region, the market volume of which is estimated, approximately as the 1/6 part of Moscow. In any case, the inclusion of MO in the analysis does not significantly affect the coefficients in question.
The average income of one taxi passenger in cities with a population of less than 1 million people in 2016 will reach 1395 rubles, an increase of 4.3% compared to the same indicator in 2015. The average income of one passenger in 2016 in Krasnoyarsk will be 3235 rubles. (+ 5.5%), in Perm - 3173 rubles. (+ 3.5%), in Voronezh - 3161 rubles. (+ 3.1%), in Saratov - 3167 rubles. (+ 3.3%), in Krasnodar - 3192 rubles. (+ 4.1 %), in Ulyanovsk - 3225 rubles. (+ 5.2 %), in Yaroslavl - 3204 rubles. (+ 4.5 %), in Vladivostok - 3195 rubles. (+ 4.2%), in Khabarovsk - 3232 rubles. (+ 5.4%), in Barnaul - 3192 rubles. (+ 4.1%), in Izhevsk - 3198 rubles. (+ 4.3%), in Togliatti - 3164 rubles. (+ 3.2%).
The largest market volume among cities with a population of less than 1 million people will be occupied by the cities of the Volga Federal District. In 2016, the revenue of these cities will amount to 28.6 billion rubles. In second place will be the cities of the Central Federal District - 23.4 billion rubles. In third place will be the Siberian Federal District - 19.5 billion rubles. The smallest market volume in the cities of the Far Eastern Federal District is 6.8 billion rubles. and in the cities of the North Caucasus Federal District - 7.6 billion rubles.
The average income brought by one passenger of cities with a population of less than 1 million people will be approximately the same in all federal districts and will amount to 9600 rubles. The average income will differ only in the Far Eastern Federal District - 7200 rubles. and in the North-West Federal District - 6478 rubles.
The largest players in the taxi market in cities with a population of less than 1 million people are the control rooms "Lucky," "Saturn" and "Maxim." They occupy 11%, 9% and 7% of the market, respectively. Mobile aggregators (Yandex.Taxi, Uber, etc.) account for 3% of the market of million-plus cities.
In the future, the taxi transportation market in cities with a population of less than 1 million people will continue to grow, which is due to the lack of strict regulation of the industry by the state and the projected reduction in the share of the shadow sector.
Taxi services in St. Petersburg
In November 2016, the DISCOVERY Research Group marketing agency completed a study of the taxi (taxi) market in St. Petersburg. In Russia, and in particular in St. Petersburg, the taxi (taxi) market is one of the most dynamically developing segments of the passenger transportation market.
According to DISCOVERY Research Group estimates, the taxi (taxi) market in St. Petersburg in 2016 will increase by 3.1% compared to 2015 and will reach 33 billion rubles.
The analytical center under the Government of the Russian Federation estimated the volume of the taxi (taxi transportation) market in Moscow and the Moscow region in 2015 at 181 billion rubles. Suppose that the average cost of a taxi trip in Moscow is 400 rubles. Then the number of taxi trips made at the volume calculated by the analytical center is 1 million 240 thousand per day. If we take into account the fact that for one taxi trip on average carries more than one passenger, suppose 1.5 passengers, then the average daily passenger traffic will be equal to 1.9 million people with a population of Moscow of 12.3-14.5 million people. Analysts at Discovery Research Group believe that this estimate is overestimated. For comparison, the taxi of New York (the population of all districts of the city is about 8.5 million people) carries about 600 thousand passengers per day. In New York, residents are much more likely to resort to taxi services than in Moscow. We also note that the Moscow metro carries 8-9 million people a day. We get that in New York the ratio of the number of passengers transported to the number of residents of the city is 0.07, and in Moscow 0.14, which in our opinion is excluded. The equality of coefficients for Moscow and New York is achieved with an average trip price in Moscow at 800 rubles, which, according to analysts at Discovery Research Group, is also excluded. It should be borne in mind that for the calculation of coefficients we did not take into account the Moscow region, the market volume of which is estimated, approximately as the 1/6 part of Moscow. In any case, the inclusion of MO in the analysis does not significantly affect the coefficients in question.
The average annual income brought by one taxi passenger in St. Petersburg in 2016 will reach 6,774 rubles, an increase of 3.1% compared to the same indicator in 2015.
The taxi (taxi) market in St. Petersburg occupies a large share in the total taxi (taxi) market in Russia. According to analysts at Discovery Research Group, in 2016 St. Petersburg will account for 9.7% of the total taxi market in Russia.
The shadow taxi market in St. Petersburg in 2016 will decrease by 18.4% and amount to 6.3 billion rubles. At the same time, the share of the legal market will grow by 9.9% and reach 26.8 billion rubles.
In the future, the taxi (taxi) market in St. Petersburg will continue to grow, which is due to the lack of strict regulation of the industry by the state and the projected reduction in the share of the shadow sector.
Taxi transportation in Moscow
According to DISCOVERY Research Group estimates, the taxi (taxi) market in Moscow in 2016 will increase by 5.1% compared to 2015 and will reach 117.7 billion rubles. The taxi (taxi) market in the Moscow region will grow by 4.5% and reach a value of 21.5 billion rubles.
The average annual income of one taxi passenger in Moscow in 2016 will reach 10,230 rubles, an increase of 5.1% compared to the same indicator in 2015. The average annual income of one taxi passenger in the Moscow Region in 2016 will amount to 3,403 rubles, an increase from 2015 will be 4.5%.
According to analysts at DISCOVERY Research Group, the taxi (taxi) market in Moscow occupies the largest share in the total taxi (taxi) market in Russia. In 2016, Moscow will account for 34.7% of the total taxi (taxi) market in Russia.
The shadow taxi market in Moscow in 2016 will decrease by 5% and amount to 22.3 billion rubles. At the same time, the share of the legal market will grow by 12% and reach 95.3 billion rubles.
In the future, the taxi (taxi transportation) market in Moscow will continue to grow, which is due to the lack of strict regulation of the industry by the state and the projected reduction in the share of the shadow sector.
