Taxi prices in Moscow have increased sharply over the last year, according to calculations published by the pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia on Wednesday, citing sources in several large taxi companies.

Izvestia estimates that prices for some routes in June rose by up to 70% compared with the same month last year.

According to the state statistics bureau (Rosstat), the price per kilometer for a taxi ride in Moscow rose 30.8% from May of last year to May 2025, and by 35% in the broader Moscow region.

The most significant price increases occurred at the end of 2024. A government analysis assessed the annual growth of taxi fares in the capital at 25.2% for that year.
