Official data presented by the National Statistics Committee indicates a steady upward trend in taxi service prices. It was reported that since the beginning of 2025, taxi fares have increased by an average of 7 percent. These figures signify a notable change for city residents and users of daily transportation services.
Additionally, an annual comparison also shows a price hike. Specifically, compared to the same period last year, the cost of taxi services has risen by 12.2 percent. Experts attribute this growth to several factors.
First and foremost, monthly figures are often influenced by seasonal demand. During holidays, vacations, or adverse weather conditions, the demand for taxis increases, intensifying price pressure. Furthermore, traffic congestion also impacts service costs, as time consumption leads to higher expenses.
Moreover, fuel prices, vehicle maintenance, and the cost of spare parts play a significant role in shaping taxi fares. These categories of expenses have also shown an increase in recent months.
In summary, the increase in taxi service prices is not a one-off or random occurrence but is linked to broader economic processes. If these factors persist, significant price changes in the coming months cannot be ruled out.
