The Hanoi Transport Department has proposed to the Ministry of Transport that city taxis are issued badges of a specific colour.
Director of the department Nguyen Quoc Hung said that the move aims to curb taxi firms registered in other provinces from operating their vehicles in Hanoi, which has been causing management difficulties for the municipal agencies.
Hung said that the department has also proposed that the validity period of the taxi badges be reduced from the current 12 months.
Taxi companies should be required to return old badges before getting a new one, he said.
