The Yangon Region Transport Committee (YRTC) is undertaking to install meters in taxis with the aim to ensure reasonable fares for passengers. Regarding the installation of new embossed number plates in all vehicles under the supervision of YRTC by deadline 31st March, a media conference was held at Yangon YRTC office on 9th March.

Joint Secretary, YRTC, Lyan Cin Mang, said " In 2015, the Yangon Region Hluttaw has issued a notification regarding with the proper operation of private vehicles. 28/ E notification stating meters will be installed in taxis and YRTC is also working to set systematic taxi fares, aiming to set reasonable fares. "

As a pilot project, permission is being requested to start installation on 500 vehicles and priority will be given to install meters in CNG taxis. Plans are being made for metered taxis to start running at the airport.

Joint Secretary, YRTC, Lyan Cin Mang, said " Measure will be taken to install meter system on unmetered vehicles. Most of the YBS buses under the YRTC’s supervision have already been installed and more than 3,500 out of 5,000 vehicles have installed meter system. Plans are underway to install meters at the end of March. As there are taxis which have not been registered as city taxis have not yet installed embossed number plates, it is needed to install embossed number plates at the Department of Road Transport Administration."

YRTC is working to provide a good service system and safe and secure transportation to the passengers.
