BVTM Symposium in Munich: PBefG, Fixed Prices, and Tariff Corridor

In three weeks, the time has come – this year's PBefG Symposium, in collaboration with the German Association of Cities, builds on the successes of the last two years: Already 110 representatives from authorities across Germany have registered for the event format with the motto “Update 2025: Securely using PBefG instruments – cities learning from cities.”

The PBefG Symposium of the Federal Association in Munich is experiencing high demand from authorities, according to Michael Oppermann, the Managing Director of the Federal Association. This year as well, the municipal participants can expect an informative bouquet of lectures on the PBefG instruments legally established in 2021 to protect public services through the taxi industry and the opportunity to exchange ideas between the presentations of the speakers and during the joint get-together evening on the topics "Introducing Fixed and Minimum Prices". Also new in the format to intensify the exchange is the interactive workshop on Day 2 "From Practice to Politics".

Fixed Prices, Minimum Prices, and Tariff Corridor

Oppermann promotes this year's program. Participants can expect a mix of "Best Practices and To dos" this year, meaning in which cities taxi fixed prices have already been successfully implemented with or without a tariff corridor and where this is still pending.

"But the topic of minimum prices is also in the spotlight of the PBefG Symposium 2025 with the positive verdict of the Leipzig Administrative Court and will be presented by Claudia Hille from Leipzig as well as Federal Association President Herwig Kollar," Oppermann continued. "Since there are now real experiences in implementing the PBefG instruments, compared to previous years, the focus of the upcoming event is more on administrative practice and less on legal theory."

With regard to the nationwide signal effect for minimum transportation fares, a focus is also placed on the capital Berlin: Kirsten Dreher, the head of the State Office for Regulatory Affairs, will speak about the “data exchange with platforms” and the “approval practice,” together with Josef Hoffmann from Munich, Viktor Schneitler from Düsseldorf, and Herwig Kollar from the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars. Michael Oppermann rounds off the program with his lecture “The new variety of fixed price tariffs.” The many joint breaks with lunch, coffee, and dinner offer the representatives of authorities plenty of room to transfer what they have heard to their municipalities and to network.
