Berlin House of Representatives votes for taxi urgency motion – BVTM: calls for rapid implementation
In its session, the Berlin House of Representatives' plenary approved the urgent motion “Securing the existence and functionality of Berlin's taxi industry as part of public services.” The Federal Association of Taxis and Rental Cars welcomes the clear vote in which all factions unanimously approved the motion. Hermann Waldner, Vice President of the Federal Association and President of Taxi Deutschland e.V., the largest Berlin trade association, stated:
“With their decision today, the representatives make it clear: They want to put an end to illegal rental car practices on the streets of the capital with all their might – and protect the taxi industry as part of public services through fair competition. This is important political support for the authorities and a strong signal to the industry, which will also be noticed beyond Berlin.”
A comprehensive 15-point action plan has been adopted to strengthen the authorities and their cooperation, enable structured controls including joint operations, provide for plausibility checks in advance (Hamburg model), and introduce a transparency register. The plan also calls for the stipulation of a minimum transport fare for rental car traffic. This is to be examined and introduced in the event of competitive distortions or a disruption of the public transport interest, as stated in the resolution.
```"The cross-party support for minimum prices must now quickly be followed by action," emphasized Waldner. "A taxi industry with its regulated prices can only survive in the future if rental car prices are also regulated to the extent that dumping competition at the expense of drivers and passenger safety is excluded. The taxi industry is prepared to face competition, but it must be fair."
The introduction of minimum prices is stipulated by the law and was declared permissible by the Leipzig Administrative Court at the end of 2024. A traffic economics report by IGES Mobility also determined that the introduction of minimum prices for rental cars is essential to ensure the long-term functionality of the taxi industry.

In our report, we were able to demonstrate that minimum prices for ride services are suitable and necessary in this situation if the taxi is to be maintained as a functional part of the public transportation system," said Prof. Dr. Kay Mitusch, one of the study's authors.
