It is celebrated not only in Russia - it is an international holiday. More than 100 years ago, or rather on March 22, 1907, the first taxi appeared in England - a cab with a special taximeter, which provided passenger transportation services. Since then, all taxi drivers consider this day to be their professional holiday. By the way, taxis appeared in Russia only in 1925, regular traffic began on June 25, and therefore our drivers have every right to celebrate the holiday twice a year.
Romantics who are not afraid of danger - these are our taxi drivers. Psychologists who perfectly know their city are also them. A taxi driver is a visiting card of any city. Cars with yellow checkers scurry through the streets day and night, creating comfortable conditions for residents and guests of the cities. Good luck to you, taxi driver!

Taxi drivers around the world celebrate their professional holiday - International Taxi Day. It was on this day in 1907 that the first cars equipped with special meters appeared on the streets of London. London cabbies called the counter "taximeter" - from the French "tax" ("fee"), and the Greek "metron" ("measurement"). Since then, individual urban transport began to be called taxis, and cabbies - taxi drivers.
The first London taxi cars were green and red. The yellow color we consider traditional for these machines came from the light hand of John Hertz, founder of the Hertz Corporation.
Accepting old cars as payment for new ones, an enterprising American repainted used cars yellow and used them as taxis. Naturally, such bright cars were easy to notice on the streets of the city, and later the practice of repainting taxis in yellow became a rule for almost all such companies. And yellow will become the classic taxi color for the whole world.
Another recognizable symbol of a taxi is a checkered pattern. According to one version, the first checkered pattern appeared in the 1920s on the cars of an American company that borrowed them from racing symbols. He was supposed to attract the attention of customers and push them to think about the speed of movement.
In Russia, the first taxi drivers appeared already in 1907. By 1912, the capital's taxi fleet consisted of 230 cars, which were serviced by the Central Dispatch Service. However, in 1917, after the October Revolution, taxis in Moscow and other large cities of Russia ceased to exist for a while.
And only in 1925, by a resolution of the communal farm of the Moscow City Council, regular taxi traffic was reopened in the city. It is this day that Moscow taxi drivers consider the birthday of the modern Russian taxi and, along with the International Taxi Day, celebrate it as their professional holiday.
We congratulate you on Taxi Driver Day.
We wish you a smooth road
Always green path
Fewer traffic jams ahead.
And let there be many customers
Less strict police
A car that doesn't let you down
And she brought in a lot of money.
Always have a good trip
And only happiness ahead.
And hurry - only home,
To the beloved and dear family!
On March 22, taxi drivers around the world celebrate their professional holiday - International Taxi Driver Day. It was on this day in 1907 that the first cars equipped with special meters appeared on the streets of London.
According to historical data, special carts for transporting citizens appeared in ancient Rome. As civilization has developed, society has always needed people to ensure their personal delivery to their destination. Chariots and carriages, cabs and fiacres - cabbies were an integral part of any city. With the advent of cars equipped with a taximeter, the profession got its current name - a taxi driver.
And in the heat, and in the slush, and on frosty days - the passenger transportation service may be needed at any time. Previously, each state had its own day to honor a transport worker. And now International Taxi Driver Day is celebrated in many countries. Including in Russia. The taxi service is very popular these days. The identification mark is a yellow car with a checker on the roof, making it easy to recognize.
What are you, a professional taxi driver?
Based on the centuries-old experience of private transportation, we can distinguish the qualities that are necessarily inherent in a professional taxi driver. A real taxi driver must be brave and hardy, responsible, because this profession is one of the most dangerous in the world. It is not known for what purpose the passenger gets into a taxi: to reach their destination or to rob and steal a car. It is also not uncommon for unknown persons disguised as clients to inflict serious injuries on taxi drivers. That is why a taxi driver must be able to stand up for himself and his or state property, to give a worthy rebuff.
At the same time, a taxi driver is distinguished not only by a good ability to drive a car, but also by having patience, being friendly and psychologically prepared for different situations. After all, people of different social strata resort to the services of taxi drivers, someone will have to be listened to, and someone will be given advice, to become a “vest”, if necessary. Not all passengers board sober or in a good mood. A transport worker must be able to navigate the terrain, know the names of all the streets along which he carries out transportation.
Taxi driver day today
Today is the day of the taxi driver - this is a holiday not only for men, but also for women, because the profession is very popular among people of both sexes. People in this profession are very different from each other. What makes people get behind the wheel as a taxi driver? Sitting in a taxi, you can hear many stories about how many people came to this profession.
In Russia, taxi drivers began their activities even before the revolution. In our country, the regular movement of taxi cars began on June 21, 1925, so that taxi drivers can rightfully celebrate their professional holiday twice. Taxi Driver Day is a day when people who work on holidays and weekends, on night shifts, in all weather conditions are honored. Today, in order to use the taxi service, it is enough to send a message or make a call. Internet taxis are gaining popularity more and more, when you can make an order even without a phone, on the website online.
When and on what date is Taxi Driver Day celebrated? The date of the professional holiday of taxi drivers is not known to everyone, and in our article we would like to fill this gap.
When winter gives way, when the snow has almost melted, and only its lonely heaps, dirty and miserable, lie in small hills along the roadsides, when a cheerful drop knocks on the roofs, when the breath of spring is felt in the air and the smell of pancakes of the recently past Maslenitsa, taxi drivers Russia and the whole world celebrate their professional day - Taxi Driver Day. This day almost coincides with the day when the real, not calendar spring begins. And it starts March 21st. Therefore, the holiday of taxi drivers falls on March 22. Let's go back to those distant years when it was established and try to understand why and why.
Once upon a time, on the streets of old London, where the famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson walked, cars appeared in 1907. You will be surprised and say: “Not true! Automobiles had been around long before that!” You will be right, but it should be noted that complicated cars appeared on the streets of lovely London, but with special meters. Then there was no word "driver", and those who drove people were called cabbies. London cabbies gave these counters a name: "taximeter". Why such an interesting name? Its origin is not English, but French and Greek. In French, "tax" means "fee," and in Greek, "metron" means "measurement." So it turns out that the meter was designed to measure something, and you have to pay for it. From that day on, private transport in the city began to be called nothing more than "taxi", and cabbies acquired the proud name of "taxi drivers". And the twenty-second of March became known throughout the world as the day of the taxi driver.
Since we are traveling through the past, it will be interesting to note that the very first cars in London were only two colors - green and red. The yellow color appeared much later, and only thanks to John Hertz, who was the founder of Hertz Corporation. An American with great makings of a businessman, an excellent entrepreneur at that time, he accepted old cars from people in payment for new ones. Such old cars were repainted yellow and used as taxis. Bright, lemon, they drove around the city, attracting the attention of passers-by, and taxi drivers had a lot of clients, because such cars were very easy to notice among the annoying green and red ones. The practice of repainting cars yellow was passed on to other companies. And since that time, it was the yellow color of the car that began to be considered classic for taxis around the world.
Taxi Driver's Day is a wonderful holiday, because wherever we are in a hurry, taxi drivers are always ready to help us. How many of you remember the symbolism of a taxi? On top of the car, and sometimes on its side, there are symbols in the form of checkers. In the early 20s of the last century, this checkered symbolism appeared on cars that belonged to one American company. It was borrowed from the symbolism that adorned racing cars. Checkered squares attracted customers and prompted them to think about how to get to the right place faster. The first taxi drivers began to appear also in 1907. Already in 1912, the Moscow taxi fleet had 230 cars on its account, which were successfully serviced by the central dispatch service. But the Great October Revolution did not have a very beneficial effect on the taxi service, and after 1917 taxis temporarily disappeared. The taxi service resumed its activities only in 1925, on June 21. By the way, it was this June day that Russian taxi drivers decided to accept as the birthday of a Russian taxi. To this day in Russia, taxi drivers consider this day as a professional Taxi Driver Day.
Who are taxi drivers? Of course, great romance. They are not afraid of danger, they know the way and love it. They love speed and adventure. They also love their city and their passengers. Knowing your city and the area that surrounds it is very important. After all, sometimes you have to rush to the other end of the city, to an unfamiliar street, in order to take a person, or vice versa, to pick him up and take him where you need to go. For a taxi driver, there should be no unfamiliar streets in the city. A taxi driver is simply obliged to learn not only a map of the city, but he must know all the alleys and streets by heart, and even so that he can drive through them blindfolded! This is not so easy, because not everyone will be able to rush in a matter of seconds on an emergency call to the very backwoods, pick up a passenger and deliver him again, in a matter of seconds, to the right place. And if the challenge is at night, then it is doubly difficult! Therefore, if you have familiar taxi drivers, do not forget to congratulate them on their holiday - Happy Taxi Driver Day, make your buddies or friends happy!
But speaking of taxi drivers, I would like to note that they are not only romantics, but also good psychologists. How many different people get into their cars! With different moods, with different characters, with different requests. It's so hard to please everyone - someone doesn't like the speed, someone doesn't like the lining of car covers, someone gets into the car tipsy and finds fault with every little thing, and a taxi driver should always be tolerant. How much patience these wonderful people - taxi drivers have. They endure human dissatisfaction with everything in a row, they endure sometimes unbearable fumes from evening parties, they endure swearing and disrespect Taxi driver day is their day, and it is our duty to congratulate these beautiful road romantics.
I would like to note that taxi drivers are big jokers. They love to joke and joke themselves, and they love to be joked on too. Therefore, if you decide to congratulate your familiar taxi driver with a comic congratulation with a little joke, he will appreciate it and will not be offended. And most likely, on the contrary, your joke cheers him up for the whole day, and he will be cheerful on the road, and with his good mood will cheer up his passengers. If you have a familiar taxi driver, and you really want to congratulate him, but he is far away. Of course, you can call him and congratulate him in your own words on Taxi Driver's Day, but don't taxi drivers deserve something more original? For congratulations, you can use everything - short SMS, beautiful poems, jokes and jokes, the main thing is that you do it from the heart.
With the concept of "taxi" for many people, something valuable and childish is connected in their souls. Beautiful memories pop up when mom and dad pull you by the hand into someone else's car, missing the train. You roar and rest, because you don’t want to go anywhere! I want to stay with friends and play, have fun. In the children's imagination, the taxi driver is an evil uncle who is in a conspiracy with his parents. You are forcibly dragged into the car, and you continue to howl and sob. And then the evil uncle from your imagination turns into a kind wizard who finds the right words and calms. Yes, how calms - with jokes and with a smile. Tears immediately, as if by the will of a good magician, turn into sincere, childish laughter. Well, isn't it a miracle? And these are just childhood memories.
And now? Unfortunately, now, we rarely take a taxi, because we either save money or there is no need. But even now, nothing has changed since those childhood years. A taxi driver is a wonderful psychologist, a taxi driver loves his city, a taxi driver is a romantic, a taxi driver is a kind magician who can sometimes replace a fabulous flying carpet! Taxi Driver's Day is a holiday for drivers. Who make a living helping people get to their destination quickly. Think of your friends - are there any of them? Congratulate them sincerely, please your attention, inspire! And be sure to wish them smooth roads, without holes and potholes, good and kind passengers. Which will not be harmful and breathe fumes on the glass, and also - eternal spring in the soul. After all, from the holiday - in the spring! You will succeed! Good luck to you in life!

Taxi Driver's Day is a strange holiday - you are not driving,
Today you are just at home with your daughter and wife.
You meet friends in the evening in a cafe.
You celebrate the holiday violently, you yourself are under the closet.

The main thing is that tomorrow there is visibility,
Hands did not tremble and the motor roared.
In general, happy taxi driver day to you, driver.

When is this holiday held? International Taxi Driver Day is celebrated annually on March 22 (in 2020 this date falls on Sunday).
How is World Taxi Driver Day celebrated?
How is the celebration going? Various actions, flash mobs are dated for it. Festive evenings of employees of transport enterprises are organized.
Mass media publish materials about taxi drivers, personnel of private companies, problems of this industry.
History and traditions of International Poetry Day
The date of celebration of World Taxi Driver Day was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1907, the first metered cars appeared in London.
Drivers called such meters "taximeters" - from the French "tax" ("fee") and the Greek "metron" ("measurement"). Since that time, individual urban transport began to be called a taxi, and the drivers of these cars - taxi drivers.
Already in 1907, the first taxis appeared in our country. By 1912, there were 230 cars in the capital's taxi fleet, which were serviced by the Central Dispatch Service.
During the Soviet years, the work of taxis was temporarily stopped and resumed in Moscow on June 21, 1925, so that Russian taxi drivers can celebrate their holiday on this day as well.
International Taxi Driver Day also remembers that John Hertz, the founder of Hertz Corporation, came up with the idea to paint taxis yellow.
He accepted old cars as payment for new ones and repainted them. Later, yellow became a classic color for taxis around the world.
According to one version, checkered patterns first appeared in the 1920s on the cars of an American company that decided to use racing symbols in the design of cars.
Taxi services provide services for the transportation of people and the delivery of goods. In recent years, this industry has been actively developing on the Internet, where many services have appeared related to the provision of transport services.
The work of taxi drivers cannot be called easy, because they work in any weather, at any time of the day, on weekdays and holidays. Due to the threat of robbery and the risk of traffic accidents, this profession is considered dangerous.
A real taxi driver must be brave, responsible, patient and psychologically prepared for a variety of situations that may arise along the way.
On World Taxi Driver Day, we congratulate our friends and relatives who have connected their lives with this profession on the holiday, and wish them safe roads, health and personal happiness.
