Rush for Women's Night Taxi Vouchers in Munich – Budget for 2025 Already Depleted
In Munich, for example, women aged 16 and over can use a 10-euro voucher per ride between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. In Gießen, women and girls aged 14 and over receive a five-euro discount on nightly taxi rides.
There are many reasons for the vouchers
The discounted rides offer women the opportunity to get home safely and directly without having to rely on potentially unsafe modes of transport. Additionally, with financial support, women can remain mobile late at night without having to fear high costs. Furthermore, the vouchers serve as a preventive instrument against potential attacks in public spaces during the night.
Demand in Munich has sextupled
Each woman can collect up to three vouchers worth 10 euros at the KVR in Munich. These vouchers can then be used for taxi rides between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. However, the district administration office of the Bavarian state capital has stopped issuing vouchers. According to KVR, the planned annual budget of 230,000 euros has already been exceeded.
If it becomes apparent that not all vouchers will be redeemed, there would be money left to issue new taxi vouchers, explained district administration officer Hanna Sammüller-Gradl.
"Of course, we all hope that this will be the case again at the Wiesn," said Sammüller-Gradl.
The possibility of increasing the budget apparently is not being considered.
