According to the decree of the Governor of the Moscow Region (No. 177-PG dated 2020-11-04) and the decree of the Mayor of Moscow (No. 43-UM dated April 11, 2020), restrictions have been introduced for all types of transport in the capital and the region from April 15, 2020. Is it possible to go to quarantine in a taxi, who is allowed such movements, and in what cases a digital pass is needed for this?

When a pass is needed

Now, according to the Government Decree of February 14, 2009 N 112, all taxi movements are classified in three categories:

1. On personal matters. To do this, you must issue a one-time pass, which is valid exclusively for going to the store, to the dacha, to the pharmacy. Such digital codes are issued only 2 times a week, so it is better to think over your future route and all matters related to it in advance.
2. Visit doctor. For this purpose, you will have to send to the indicated e-mail address all the data of your clinic with the name of the doctor and the reason for the trip. With such passes, you can take a taxi to quarantine almost every day.
3. Working necessity. These are monthly codes, they are valid until April 30 and must be confirmed by the appropriate documents from the employer.

Without a pass, taxi services can be used by:

• military personnel;
• civil servants;
• judges;
• lawyers;
• notaries and their assistants;
• journalists;
• representatives of security agencies and enterprises.

These categories of citizens can use government-issued service certificates. It is also allowed to use the services of carriers for children under 14 years old.

How the system works

If the taxi car has a license agreement and is on the list of officially approved translators, the driver does not need a pass. He must download the Moscow Assistant application.

According to Dmitry Pronin, Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development, a passenger must present his / her pass at the beginning of the trip. If something does not match, or the customer does not want to show his code, he should be denied the service.

Pronin said in an interview with RIA Novosti that those taxi drivers who try to cheat the pass system, for example, by taking a longer trip than indicated in the order documents, will be immediately disconnected from the aggregators. This will entail a forced refusal of the carrier to serve customers on the line.

The official also warned that all the data of the electronic registration system of citizens can be checked at any time by the traffic police. In case of non-observance of these rules, the violator faces a large fine as a punishment.

What difficulties have arisen in connection with the introduction of the access control

The primary problem is that police officers simply do not have enough smartphones with built-in monitoring software. Such devices were already put into operation during the 2018 World Cup, but then they were armed with a limited number of law enforcement officers involved in protecting an important event.

Now, so many inspectors and Rosgvardia employees are participating in the program that automatic verification of digital passes has become a problem, according to the Baza portal.

The second important problem is the weak security of the Database of digital passes. Many taxi drivers and passengers are concerned about easy access by police officers to sensitive personal information.

A program with such a huge amount of information crashes at maximum load during rush hour. This leads to the fact that passes are issued much later than the applicant needs, or citizens, upon request, are faced with the inability to enter data about their future trip.

How and where to issue a digital document

Just as for traveling by private car, the authorities recommend using one of three options for obtaining a code on a smartphone:

• online at mos.ru;
• by SMS to 7377;
• by phone +7 (495) 777-77-77.

Let's make a reservation right away that this data is suitable only for residents of the capital. Citizens wishing to arrange a trip to the region will have to use the application "State services stopcoronavirus".

More detailed information with precise explanations about whether it is possible to take a taxi to quarantine and where to issue digital passes for this can be easily found on the official website of the Mayor of Moscow.

Summarize

1. With the introduction of quarantine, movement in Moscow and the region is strictly regulated by the authorities.
2. Refusal to show a pass to a taxi driver or a police officer is fraught with a large fine.
3. There are three ways to issue a digital code for a trip around the city and region.
