Fines for illegal transportation of passengers. Penalty for working in a taxi without a license

Article 11.14.1. Violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers and baggage by passenger taxis

1. The absence in the passenger compartment of a passenger taxi of the information provided for by the Rules for the carriage of passengers and luggage by road and urban land electric transport - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of one thousand rubles; for officials - ten thousand rubles; for legal entities - thirty thousand rubles.
2. Failure to issue to the passenger a cash register receipt or a receipt in the form of a strict accountability form provided for by the Rules for the Carriage of Passengers and Luggage by Motor Transport and Urban Land Electric Transport and confirming payment for using a passenger taxi - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of one thousand rubles; for officials - ten thousand rubles; for legal entities - thirty thousand rubles.
3. The absence on the vehicle used for the provision of services for the transportation of passengers and luggage, the color scheme of a passenger taxi and (or) an identification lamp on the roof of the specified vehicle - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand rubles; for officials - ten thousand rubles; for legal entities - fifty thousand rubles.

Fines for taxi drivers in 2015-2016 provide for punishment for the fact that there is no information provided in the passenger carriage rules in the car, as well as for the fact that the driver did not issue a cashier's receipt to the passenger.

Part 3 of Article 11.14 is perhaps the most interesting. Now the absence of a special color-graphic scheme or a special lantern (checkers) on the roof on the taxi car will result in a fine of 3,000 rubles on the driver. It can be concluded that all taxi cars will now stand out from the traffic flow, and it will be quite difficult to engage in private cabbies without the appropriate permission. In addition, a fine for illegal taxi 2015-2016 is introduced, which will be discussed below.

Article 11.142. Violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers and baggage by order

1. The driver's refusal to present a charter agreement or a copy thereof or a work order for the provision of a vehicle for the carriage of passengers and baggage on request, if the charter agreement is concluded in the form of a work order, to officials authorized to exercise control over the availability of the specified documents by drivers - entails imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of five thousand rubles.
2. Carriage of passengers and baggage by order without concluding a vehicle charter agreement in writing - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of five thousand rubles; for officials - fifty thousand rubles; for legal entities - two hundred thousand rubles.
3. Collecting a payment from passengers during transportation by order of an indefinite circle of persons - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of five thousand rubles; for officials - fifty thousand rubles; for legal entities - two hundred thousand rubles.

Boarding passengers in a vehicle provided for the carriage of passengers and baggage on request, without the passengers presenting documents certifying their right to travel in this vehicle, or in the absence of a list of passengers in cases where the presentation of the specified documents or the presence of the specified list of passengers is mandatory, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of five thousand rubles; for officials - fifty thousand rubles; for legal entities - two hundred thousand rubles.

Article 12.3. Driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have with him the documents provided for by the Traffic Rules, as well as a permit to carry out activities for the carriage of passengers and luggage by passenger taxis

The absence of a taxi driver's permission to carry out activities for the transportation of passengers from January 1, 2012 will be punished with a fine of 5,000 rubles. This is a fine for an illegal taxi.

Article 12.4. Violation of the rules for installing devices on a vehicle for supplying special light or sound signals, or illegal application of special color-graphic schemes of cars of operational services, color-graphic schemes of a passenger taxi, or illegal installation of an identification lamp of a passenger taxi

7. Driving a vehicle on which the color scheme of a passenger taxi is illegally applied - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of five thousand rubles.

We believe that there is no point in explaining separately each of the articles of the updated KRFoAP. We just want to say that if your car has a taxi color scheme and a taxi lantern is installed, then this will be punishable by fines in the amount of 2,500 + 2,500 rubles for individuals. If the driver drives a car without a license and with the indicated violations, then the fine for the taxi driver will be 5,000 + 5,000 rubles.

Illegal passenger traffic is a serious problem in Russian megacities. The usual picture: there are outdated buses near the metro, which smoke like steam locomotives, and even then they will collapse right on the go. Their drivers, often from neighboring countries, do not undergo a medical examination and sometimes have only a distant idea of \u200b\u200bthe traffic rules. It's not safe to think about the safety of such carriers. But the main thing for the authorities is that not a penny is received from such flights to the city and state treasury. All these factors prompted the Moscow government to take decisive action.

From October 1, the life of illegal carriers in Moscow should become unbearable, said Dmitry Savchenko, Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development, during a specially assembled press conference "Combating Illegal Transportation". Commenting on the current situation, the official noted that out of 3000 intercity buses arriving in Moscow daily, more than 60% operate illegally or with violations. They drive uncoordinated routes, drop passengers off and park wherever they want. At the same time complicating the road situation and violating safety requirements.

However, according to the existing legislation, only regular interregional routes are subject to mandatory approval and control. And unscrupulous carriers, trying to save money and avoid responsibility, carry out their flights under the guise of "custom" ones. At the same time, they can safely bypass the requirements for environmental standards and work without a license and technical control.

The official also noted that over this year the number of accidents involving buses increased by 12%. And in 2012 alone, 164 people died in such accidents, which is 34% more than in the same period last year. Basically, the buses of illegal carriers get into accidents, the drivers of which do not pass the pre-trip inspection, and the rolling stock is technical.

To combat illegal carriers, a special body was created - GKU "Organizer of Transportation", whose employees, according to the head of the GKU Department A. Konovalov, together with various law enforcement agencies conducted more than 500 raids this year to identify violations in the field of passenger transportation. The activities of 23 carrier companies were terminated, and the amount of issued fines exceeded 57 million rubles.

However, the turnover of illegal traffic is billions of rubles a year, and in order to effectively combat them, it is necessary to change the legislative framework.

So, already in October of this year, amendments to the Administrative Code of Administrative Offenses, toughening parking rules for buses, may be adopted. And most importantly, amendments will be made to Federal Law No. 259, which regulates passenger transportation. When performing charter transportation, the factor of fare payment will be excluded, and the carrier will be obliged to conclude a charter agreement with the client. This means that the driver will no longer have the right to claim money for travel directly from passengers.

But how to distinguish a legal bona fide carrier that guarantees safe and comfortable travel from an illegal one? Here, passengers will be helped by a new program to regulate interregional traffic, designed for the end of 2012 - 2013. Tenders will be held in all directions of transportation, according to the results of which contracts will be concluded with companies ready to fulfill the requirements of the Moscow Government. Buses on such routes will have the appropriate color, content and interior. All of them will also have, and the drivers will receive uniforms.

The Moscow Government intends to at least double the number of bus stations and specially equipped bus stations at transport hubs. By 2014, it is expected to commission 16 such facilities.

It is also planned to introduce a single payment document, which would exclude the possibility of paying the fare directly to the driver. In this case, the carrier company will not care how many passengers it carries, since it will receive payment from the city under the contract for 1 km of the route. And the passenger will immediately become clear: the driver demanded money from him - it means that he works illegally.

In conclusion, Dmitry Savchenko admitted that it is impossible to completely eradicate such a phenomenon as illegal transportation, but the government will do everything to seriously reduce the scale of this activity, as well as make the life of such carriers unbearable.

It is not clear, however, how all this will look in practice. Firstly, the law has not yet been adopted by the State Duma, and secondly, the fines for organizing illegal transportation, although they increased from 1,000 rubles to 4,000 for individuals, still look ridiculous. And it is not easy for GKU employees to collect them without the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are not allowed to bear arms and are constantly faced with opposition and threats against them. So, most likely, both tomorrow and in 2013, landscapes with an eerie appearance by minibuses and buses in the vicinity of the metro stations Shchelkovskaya, Vykhino, Tushinskaya and Tsaritsyno will not change ...

Among them is the obligation to carry passengers only with the appropriate license. Such a permit is issued to a company only after it has been checked by the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport for compliance with all legal requirements.

To avoid the need to prepare all documents, many companies operate without a license. This also applies to private carriers, who are in no hurry to register as individual entrepreneurs, preferring to tax and not pay any taxes for it.

Why is illegal taxi popular?

Taxi is an inexhaustible way of earning money, which allows the driver to earn some money for his life in just a couple of hours. From the first appearance, this service is very popular among the population, because this option for moving around the city is very convenient. Unlike conventional public transport, which travels along a strictly defined route, the car can take the client directly to the entrance, providing high passenger comfort throughout the trip.

Such popularity of taxis among the population has made it attractive to drivers. Especially for those who prefer informal work, since this type of income brings much more profit than ordinary formal work.

Drivers who taxi without a license do not use meters, but agree with passengers on the cost of their services.
The main danger of using an illegal taxi is that the car does not comply with legal requirements. The Taxi Law provides for fines for the illegal transportation of passengers, as this can negatively affect the safety of the passenger.

What to do if illegal passenger transportation is detected?

Traffic inspectors are constantly conducting checks to detect illegal passenger traffic without a license. According to the requirements of the legislation, this document is necessary for the implementation of several types of passenger transportation:

1. Movement by water transport.
2. Carriage of passengers by rail.
3. Travel by car if it can accommodate more than eight people.
4. Transportation of passengers by light taxi.

Carriage of passengers without a license is punishable by a fine that is imposed on several persons:

1. A driver who was carrying passengers illegally.
2. On the person who allowed such transportation of passengers.
3. For an organization that is not licensed to carry out this type of activity.

If during the second check the same violation of the law is revealed again, in addition to the fine, the vehicle may be confiscated.

What is the fine for an illegal taxi for private carriers?

At the moment, for an illegal taxi without a license there is a fine of 5 thousand rubles. Depending on the region, the amount of the fine can vary and reach up to 10 thousand rubles (the maximum amount of the fine is valid in Moscow).

If the car that carried out the illegal transportation of passengers does not have any identification signals (checkerboard stickers), the driver is brought to administrative responsibility in the form of a fine of 3 thousand rubles.

If the driver carrying passengers, after accepting the funds, did not issue a cash document confirming payment for his services, he may also be held liable in the form of a fine of 1,000 rubles.

If the person driving a passenger vehicle illegally uses the attributes of a taxi, he is prosecuted in the form of a fine of 5 thousand rubles.

Punishment for transporting passengers without a license for organizations

Organizations that carry passengers without proper permission are subject to fines in other amounts.

For the lack of information in the car salon about the rules of the taxi, the official must in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. The organization is prosecuted in the form of a fine of 30 thousand. Similar fines are established for cases when a passenger is not issued a check or any other document confirming payment for taxi services.

If the car used for transportation is not equipped with identification signals (lights or color schemes), the organization is obliged to pay a fine of 50 thousand rubles. An official will have to pay 10 thousand rubles for the same punishment.

How to avoid liability for transporting passengers without a license

Now it is possible to avoid responsibility for the illegal transportation of passengers only by following the requirements of the legislation. To get a taxi, the driver will need:

1. Register as an individual entrepreneur.
2. Buy the appropriate license.
3. Install all the necessary accessories on your car.

If the transportation of passengers is the main type of business, it is better to choose a simplified taxation system.

The entire procedure for the legalization of entrepreneurial activity takes a minimum of time and will require expenses of up to 30 thousand rubles.

Procedure for obtaining a license for passenger transportation

To obtain a license for the right to carry passengers, an entrepreneur or a representative of an organization must contact the transport department located at the address of residence / legal address. When applying, you must have with you:

1. Documents confirming the ownership of the car.
2. Technical passport of the car.
3. Applicant's passport / power of attorney.
4. Two copies of all of the above documents.

The transport department decides to issue a license within a month from the receipt of all documents. If the specialists come to a positive decision, the applicant is issued a license for five years.
The permitting document must contain the following information:

1. Data about the vehicle that can carry passengers.
2. Car owner data.
3. Date of registration of the license.
4. Serial number of the document.

License cost

To obtain a license to carry passengers, you must pay a certain amount. The price of a permit varies from 5 to 10 thousand rubles, depending on the region. The highest price is set in Moscow.

Many car owners use their own passenger transport as a means of basic or additional profit, engaging in private transport on a temporary or permanent basis. Today, in any city, there are many so-called bombers that offer taxi services illegally. Despite the fact that this is an entrepreneurial activity, only a small percentage of drivers prefer to register themselves as individual entrepreneurs and obtain a license to provide taxi services.

Meanwhile, since 2012, the legislation provides for an administrative penalty for illegal private carriage in the amount of 10 to 30 thousand rubles, depending on the city. In addition to paying a fine, you may also face the removal of numbers or an official ban on the use of your vehicle. It follows from this that for a driver who wants to earn money or earn extra money as a private cab driver, it will be more profitable, easier and safer to do it on a legal basis.

How can you legalize your activities in the provision of taxi services

If you have your own car, and from time to time you drive fellow travelers on a one-time basis, and not on a permanent basis, then this does not require you to take any measures to legitimize your activities. But if you work as a taxi driver in your own car in the evenings or on weekends, earning a certain amount of money from this, then this requires you to register. To legalize your activity, you can go in two ways:

1. Register as an individual entrepreneur (IE). It does not take much time and does not require large financial costs. By becoming an individual entrepreneur, you will largely protect yourself and your income. Indeed, for illegal private carriage, not only fines from the traffic police are expected, but also sanctions from the tax service. Like any activity aimed at making a profit, taxi services are an entrepreneurial activity, therefore, they require a part of your profit to be transferred to the state. If you are caught in illegal business activities, it can double blow your pocket. Therefore, in fact, it is more profitable to legitimize your activities in either way: by becoming a legal private cab driver with a valid license. Obtaining a license is much cheaper than paying double fines in the tax and traffic police. Its cost today averages 5-10 thousand rubles, which is obviously more profitable and will allow you to avoid other problems associated with your work.
2. Get a job at a taxi service that is eligible for a private taxi. In your city, there are probably at least a few companies that provide taxi services to the population, and almost each of them seeks to expand their territory by inviting new taxi drivers with their own cars to work. Having a license from such a company will allow you to be calm. A good and responsible entrepreneur will tell you what conditions must be met while working in a taxi in order not to receive regular fines from the traffic police.

There are several rules and conditions that must be met in order to practice a private cab. They relate to both the vehicle's appearance and the conditions inside the vehicle. Here are the main ones:

• the car must have identification marks (lights and checkers), indicating that the car is suitable for private transport;
• the transport is painted in a color typical for taxis;
• an electronic taximeter is installed in the car;
• in the passenger compartment, within the reach of the passenger, there is information on the rules for the provision of taxi services - the rules for the carriage of passengers;
• the driver has a check machine or checkbook, with which the passenger can receive a receipt for payment for the service;
• without fail there are seat belts for all passengers, including those in the rear seats;
• for the transport of children under 12 years old, there must be a special car seat.

You can provide yourself with these attributes of a legal private cab driver or get them as an employee of another company that provides taxi services. The presence of a license gives each driver and certain advantages. So, it would be nice to ask your management, with whom you work, to pay for the repair of the car or partially compensate for the services for inspection and maintenance in the car service. In case of disputes and complaints from clients, you can get protection from the regulatory authorities.

Important! Even if you are not an individual entrepreneur, but work for a legal entity that is registered as an individual entrepreneur, you still need to obtain a license to provide taxi services.

How to get a license to provide private taxi services

To do this, you need to contact the Ministry of Transport or the local city (district) administration for information, with a corresponding statement. Together with him, you must submit a package of the following documents:

• a document confirming your ownership of the car (copy);
• a copy of your passport and / or driver's license;
• power of attorney for the car, if you are not its full owner.

After receiving and considering your application, you will be issued a license for up to 5 years. It will contain the following data:

• your personal data (full name, passport data);
• vehicle information;
• the name of the organization that issued the license;
• data about the company on behalf of which you provide taxi services;
• individual driver's number;
• date of issue of the license.

It should be remembered that not every car owner can get a license for frequent driving. For this, the driver and his car must meet certain requirements and criteria:

• driver experience of 5 years or more;
• the presence of a plafond with checkered;
• car markings in the form of characteristic squares;
• availability of a taximeter.

What advantages do you have if you get an official license for private taxi

At first glance, it may seem that officially registering your car and yourself as a taxi driver is troublesome and unprofitable, but in reality you get certain advantages and bonuses. You can no longer be afraid of fines from the regulatory authorities if your car meets the mandatory requirements (see above). Official private cabbies are highly trusted by large organizations that prefer to order vehicles for the delivery of clients, partners and employees within the framework of transfer services to airports, etc. And this is always a guaranteed regular income, often at an increased rate.

You will be able to defend your rights legally when you are presented with illegal claims from the "bomb", which is undesirable for additional competition. Their actions, unlike yours, will be illegal and may entail administrative (or even criminal) punishment. In cases of outright "assaults" and moral pressure, you can enlist the support of law enforcement agencies. Illegal cabbies are always deprived of this opportunity.
