Contracts between Transport Infrastructure Owners Regarding Taxi Transportation

The article addresses the problem of legal regulation of organizational relations arising between owners of transport infrastructures in taxi transportation. Currently, there is no consensus in the scientific community regarding the essence of concepts such as “passenger taxi booking service”, “taxi”, “passenger taxi”, “cargo taxi”, or the possibility of performing taxi motor transportation involving owners of transport infrastructures. Discussions on these topics partly stem from legislative gaps, largely associated with somewhat incorrect ideas and formulations regulated in the recently adopted Federal Law No. 580-FZ of December 29, 2022 (the Law on Taxis). The text presents the signs of contracts between owners of transport infrastructures, as well as the systematization of organizational agreements for taxi transportation with their participation. The work has enabled the formulation of an author’s definition of the studied contracts, proposed for legislative consolidation in the subsection “Organization of Transportation” of Chapter 40 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and the development of proposals for adjusting current legislation regarding the elimination of the permitting monopoly of passenger taxi booking services for receiving and transmitting taxi orders, as well as expanding the concept of “passenger taxi” to “taxi”.
