Question 1228 in the bank

Is any taxi driver permitted to make sightseeing / touring rides?

  1. Yes, provided that he is listed in a travel agency.
  2. Yes, any driver that is listed in a recognized taxi station may do so.
  3. Correct answer: Yes, provided that he has a permit from the Ministry of Tourism.
  4. Yes, every taxi driver is permitted to do so.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, provided that he has a permit from the Ministry of Tourism.

A sightseeing or touring ride is a special tourism service, so it is not automatically covered by an ordinary taxi licence. A taxi driver may offer it only with a permit from the Ministry of Tourism. Being listed with a recognized taxi station or a travel agency does not replace that permit.
