TMV: Holistic Mobility of the Future Only with the "Public Transport Taxi"
According to TMV, the future of mobility is at stake. With great astonishment, they took note of the VDV's 100-day program, which remains fixated on technical details and buzzwords like "master plan," instead of seeking to realize a strategically grounded vision for the mobility of the future.
"It's not about preserving the status quo of individual actors, but about a functioning mobility for everyone. Anyone who puts the passenger at the center cannot overlook the public transit taxi," sums up TMV President Thomas Kroker.
Instead of setting bold, forward-looking impulses, the VDV remains stuck in a mindset that reduces public transport to a rigid, infrastructure-heavy framework and leaves future-proof, flexible mobility solutions out of the equation.
Germany Ticket is a "milestone"
The Germany Ticket has proven to be a milestone in making access to public transport easier. But mobility does not end at the bus stop or the train station.
“Modern mobility requires a mix of scheduled services, on-demand solutions, and taxis,” explains Patrick Meinhardt, Chief Executive of the TMV. “It is incomprehensible why the VDV is still stuck in old patterns of thought.” Millions of passengers need flexible connecting services, especially in rural regions. It is time for the taxi and rental car industry to be recognized as an integral part of public transport. The TMV therefore calls for the inclusion of taxis in the Germany ticket.
Public Transport Taxi Not a Competition to Scheduled Services
The public transport taxi demanded by the TMV is not a competition to the classic scheduled services but an indispensable complement to bring passengers directly to their destination. Sascha Waltemate, TMV expert on public transport taxis and mobility data, adds:
“The mobility transition can only succeed if multimodal and flexible mobility chains are provided in rural areas in such a way that giving up one’s own car becomes a real option. Excluding taxis from public transport prevents the necessary transformation and hinders the shift to sustainable and connected mobility.”
Successful model projects, such as in Vechta or Münster, prove: Passengers want multimodal, comfortable, and demand-oriented mobility. Anyone who truly wants to advance public mobility must look beyond the confines of their own timetable.
A viable mobility concept requires a smart integration of all modes of transport. Instead, the VDV continues to rely on a heavily scheduled structure, which in many places does not meet the needs of the people. In rural areas, but also in urban outskirts, it is essential that passengers can use flexible, connected, and demand-oriented mobility offers. Public transport must be thought of from the passenger's perspective, not from the viewpoint of individual transport companies.
