Mayor : Tbilisi will be one of the best, developed and advanced cities in Europe in terms of transport

Tbilisi will be one of the best, developed and advanced cities in Europe in terms of transport, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said during his Facebook live on Monday.

The Mayor spoke about taxi reform in the capital and said that some political parties deliberately disseminate false information.

“The private vehicles are obliged by the law to undergo technical inspection. A taxi driver, who intends to join the A or B category must of course have a vehicle license, unfortunately, about 30% of those who had a license failed to pass the technical inspection,” Kakha Kaladze said.

The Tbilisi Mayor has responded to the report that says that thousands of people lost their jobs due to the new reform.

“Nearly 6000 drivers have obtained A category license, while 9000 drivers have joined the category B. They deliberately disseminate false information as if 27 000 taxi drivers have lost their jobs,” Kakha Kaladze said.
