The suspension of Baku's metro operations has triggered an immediate and unusual surge in taxi service prices across the city. Observations indicate that distances previously costing 8 manats now reach 11-12 manats, while 6-manat routes have jumped to 16 manats. This situation stems from the heightened demand for alternative transportation as passengers seek options.
Price increases are being applied differently by various taxi companies, yet the overall trend is clear. Temporary restrictions at metro stations have disrupted the city's transport balance. This boosts demand for quick taxi services and alters price dynamics significantly.
For Baku residents, this creates an unexpected daily hardship. The transport crisis may persist until the metro system is restored. Exploring alternative solutions during this period is crucial for commuters.
