Process of repainting yellow taxis to turquoise starts in Northern Afghanistan

Officials from the General Directorate of Traffic Police say after Kabul, the process of implementing the taxi color change plan in urban and suburban areas has begun in the northern provinces.

Haseebullah Mokhtar, the General Director of Traffic in Afghanistan, recently stated during a special ceremony in Balkh province that this process has commenced in the northern zones of Balkh, Sar-e Pol, Faryab, and Jawzjan provinces.

Mokhtar added that the color of all city taxi vehicles will change from yellow to turquoise and white while surrounding taxi vehicles will transition to turquoise.

In addition, Noorullah Abidris, the Deputy Governor of Balkh, recently stated during a ceremony marking the initiation of changing the color of the city and surrounding vehicles in northern Afghanistan that the level of insecurity and kidnappings will decrease upon completion of this process nationwide.

It’s worth noting that this process has been approved by the General Director of Traffic Police and the cabinet of the Islamic Emirate.

Changing the color of taxis from yellow to turquoise initially began from the center and is now underway in the northern zone.
