07 December 2010 15:30 (UTC +04:00)

According to Azerbaijanâ€™s State Committee for Standardization Metrology and Patent, this standard will belong to passenger station plants.

The most interesting requirements belong to taxis. According to new standard, all automobiles intending to operate as taxi must be repainted. Head of Press Service of Committee Fazil Talibli says that, the taxis in each city and region of Azerbaijan will be in a new colour. For example, the taxis in Baku must be in violet, in Sumgayit â€“ whit, in Ganja â€“ grey, in other regions and cities â€“ beige.

Several changes will be made in external design of taxis.

Emblem or name of city will be written on the doors of car and â€œintercityâ€ word must be written on the front doors of intercity taxis.

Interior design will be also changed in the taxis. Thus, Name and phone of driver and information about the driver must be written on the device panel of the front seat for passenger. The drivers will also be provided with GPS system.

The buses will not be changed seriously. Only â€œEnterâ€ and â€œExitâ€ must be written on the doors of suburban and city buses. The number of bus, the names of first, last and middle stations will be written on the electron indicator board.

Number of buses, name and phone of driver, seats for children and invalids, scheme of route network of the city and information on the payment of fare must be inside.

According to requirements of standard on bus stations, indicator stops must be in all stations. Besides, the name of bus station, name of last station, start and end time of traffic, maximum interval of traffic must be written on the board.

The main request for taxi stations is the size of station and according to size at least three taxis must be stopped there.

According to passenger station plants, the departure and arrival schedule of routes, fare, categories on persons buying extraordinary ticket must be shown here.

These new standards will be applied on December 20.
