Taxi convoy in Mainz: Around 80 vehicles make a statement for fair competition in passenger transport
The parade ended on the forecourt of the Staatstheater Mainz, where an open discussion round with political decision-makers took place. Among the guests was the Member of the State Parliament Kathrin Anklam-Trapp (SPD), who particularly emphasized the social aspects:
“While taxis offer employment subject to social security contributions, this often remains the exception with platform providers like Uber. It must not be that reliable working relationships are replaced by precarious ones.”
Ludwig Holle, chairman of the CDU faction in the Mainz city council, expressed understanding for the concerns of the industry and emphasized his willingness to engage in dialogue:
"We clearly recognize the challenges faced by the taxi industry and share many of the concerns expressed. It is now important that the industry communicates concrete suggestions and proposals to the administration – only then can we act in a targeted manner and in the interests of all parties involved.”
Holle advocated for a constructive dialogue and assured that he would incorporate concerns from the industry into political work.
Claus Madloch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AFT Funktaxizentrale Mainz, emphasized the urgency of the situation:
“We are now faced with around 300 Uber rental cars in Mainz. The legally required return obligation is being systematically disregarded—this is visible to all involved. We therefore expect the city administration to no longer tolerate these obvious violations.”
Guido Borning, Managing Director of the Rhineland Transport Industry Association e.V. and the Mobility Association MOLO, also emphasized the importance of clear rules:
“If we want to maintain a reliable, tariff-regulated, and accessible form of mobility like taxis in the future, regulatory policy decisions are needed now. The Passenger Transportation Act provides instruments for this—such as a minimum tariff for digitally mediated rental car services, which would also be sensible and necessary in Mainz.”
With yesterday's day of action, the taxi industry called not only for political support but also for a clear stance on the mobility of the future: fair, regulated, and socially responsible.
