The Head of the Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection (AFCCP), O.Magnai apologized to the people for the undue decision to increase taxi fares amid criticism during a press conference on Monday August 2nd.

Last Wednesday the Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection (AFCCP), the Capital City Transportation Authority and taxi operators announced an increase to taxi fares by 300 MNT per km promising a good standard taxi service.

But the announcement was followed by strong public criticism.

The head of the Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection (AFCCP), О.Magnai said that “I do officially apologize to people for the undue decision. Everything is in place. There will be no taxi fare increase. I want to say again. I apologize.”

Therefore the taxi tariff is still 700 MNT per kilometer in Ulaanbaatar City.
