Cab Money
Ali Bagirov
Azerbaijan
The film is about the poverty that young people go through and the situation leads many to use cabs to earn some pocket money. Unfortunately, there is a very competitive taxi business in the city and it makes the service and the prices decrease as well. The second biggest city Sumgayit is almost 30 KM away from Baku and there are cabs around the center you could take to Sumgayit only for 1 manat (around 0.55 EUR). The situation is the same with “1 manat” cabs to some other districts as well. There are many famous cab companies such as Uber and Bolt well functioning in Baku and their service prices are very low as well. The situation is advantageous to encourage people to take cabs instead of using their own car, however it leads to the exploitation of the cab drivers.
