Minsk transport workers recalled the obligation of minibus drivers to cover passengers

When traveling in a fixed-route taxi after payment for the fare, it is necessary to demand a ticket from the driver - the reasons were substantiated in the State Enterprise "Capital Transport and Communications", writes sb.by.

The company was informed:

- According to the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, a taxi driver is obliged to issue a ticket (cash receipt) to each passenger. The ticket is issued with the use of cash equipment at the time of receiving cash.

Experts reminded that the ticket is not a simple piece of paper: it confirms the conclusion of the contract of carriage and payment for travel. The passenger must have a travel document during the trip, and the carrier must ensure the possibility of purchasing it.

- If the driver accepted the money, but the ticket was not issued – this is a violation of the rules of registration of fare, – stated in the company. Without requiring a ticket, the passenger actually risks being in the position of a stowaway, even if he paid the fare.

A ticket or cash receipt must be kept until the end of the trip. If the passenger has not been issued this document, this fact can be reported to the transport or tax inspectorate. From November 11, payment for QR-code travel through the application of Belarusbank is launched in Minsk land transport
