OREANDA-NEWS. Moscow Mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, ordered to allocate subsidies for the purchase of cars for car sharing. Requirements to them, however, will be tougher than for taxis.

As the "Za Rulem.RF" writes, for several years the Moscow authorities have been helping taxi companies in purchasing new cars on credit and leasing – a part of the monthly payments are paid by the city. Now the financial support of the mayor's office could be expected by the operators of the car sharing, said Sergei Sobyanin. 

Only cars produced in Russia with the price not more than 1.5 million rubles and not more than three years old could be bought under the subsidy program. The ecological class should be no lower than the fourth, while a third is allowed for taxis. Also for taxis there is a less severe restriction by age - up to 5 years, and there are no restrictions on the place of assembly.
