AS Tallink Takso plans to cease operations within the next month and will undergo liquidation. The company will immediately begin negotiations to terminate taxi service agreements and other contractual obligations. Contractual taxi services will continue until all obligations are fulfilled, while non-contractual clients will be serviced for the next month. As part of the liquidation process, 14 employees from the office and call center will be made redundant.
According to Infortar’s managing director, Martti Talgre, both the market and the company’s strategic focus have changed. "Tallink Takso was initially established to serve Tallink’s passengers. However, the market situation has fundamentally changed, and from the customer’s perspective, accessing fast and high-quality taxi services is no longer a challenge. Furthermore, as Infortar has become a publicly listed company, we are focused on driving growth by developing profitable businesses within our main business areas,” said Talgre.
In 2023, AS Tallink Takso reported a loss of €211 thousand (compared to a €283 thousand loss in 2022). For Aktsiaselts Infortar, this transaction represents an exit from the taxi operations sector.
