Instruction manual

1

Decide if you want to be engaged in intercity or city block passenger transportation. Consult with experienced owners of fixed-route taxis or drivers of intercity passenger cars, what disadvantages and advantages of both types of transportation.

2

Consider also opening a new route. For this, of course, it will take more time, as well as coordination in the administration and the traffic police. For the new intercity route, coordination of local authorities of the municipal formation of the starting and ending points of the route, as well as coordination of the administration of the bus station and bus stations, are also needed.

3

Register your company as a sole proprietorship (individual entrepreneur), or LLC (limited liability company). Adequately assess the possible risks when registering an enterprise. An individual entrepreneur is liable to his potential creditors with his property, and the LLC risks only authorized capital (minimum size 10, 000 rubles).

Obtain a license from your local Department of Transportation. To obtain it, you must provide a number of documents:

1) an application for a license (this application should contain: names, legal form and location - for a legal entity, full passport data for individual entrepreneurs, type of activity that they intend to carry out);

4) a copy of your driver’s license or the rights of drivers who will work for you;

5) copies of documents confirming the passage of the relevant certification by officials of the legal entity responsible for ensuring road safety;

6) a list and information about cars or automobiles;

7) receipt of payment of the box office fee for obtaining a license.

5

Decide on the mode of working hours and the length of the working day. Here, take into account the specifics of your route (city or intercity) and the temporary need for the transportation of passengers.
