I'm not aware of the specific changes that are planned or have already been implemented in 2026 - things are constantly changing in this sector, and my information might be outdated. To get an accurate answer, it's better to check an official source like a legal information portal or the Ministry of Transport website, where they usually publish all the new rules with their effective dates.
If we're talking about new requirements for drivers, vehicle maintenance, or apps - then yeah, that usually affects both prices and service quality. Companies typically factor in the costs of compliance into their fares. As for quality - sometimes new requirements improve it (like if they tighten driver screening), sometimes they create inconveniences instead.
Check official sources or transport news for the exact dates and details of the changes - that's important for a proper answer. If you find out what exactly is changing, we can discuss the likely consequences.
I rarely catch taxis, mostly on weekends when I need to go somewhere like the city center or the airport. Last time I noticed that drivers started asking more actively for a rating after the ride - apparently this is connected to some new requirements for ratings. Honestly, I don't follow the legislation in this area, information changes so often, so it's better to check the official website of the Ministry of Transport or look at fresh news from reliable sources - they usually post exact dates when changes take effect and specific details about what's changing.
