Mayor of Tbilisi Kakha Kaladze spoke about upcoming taxi reforms in Tbilisi at a city administration meeting today.
Kaladze said taxi licenses will be divided into A and B categories. Category B license owners will not be obliged to repaint their vehicles, nor will they have to install lights on their vehicles.
Category B license holders will be permitted to work for taxi applications such as Taxify or Uber and provide their services to the Tbilisi population; they will not be allowed to take a passenger directly from the street.

Taxi drivers are obliged to pass technical inspections. Special parking places will be allocated for them for free.
