Day of Action on July 2nd: The Taxi Fights Back!
The dilemma is well known. While taxi prices are set by municipal bodies and strictly monitored, rental car companies have been able to set their rates freely thus far. This creates a significant imbalance — and increasing economic pressure for many taxi companies. Especially in big cities, where platform providers appear with aggressive pricing, classic taxis are under duress. At the same time, many rental car companies operating for the platform operators circumvent the few regulatory requirements, such as the return obligation or proof of a business address. It has often been proven that drivers' hours are also not properly reported... all in all an untenable situation!
"In taxis, there are government-set prices and audit-proof records of all transactions — while with Uber & Co, it's Wild West and arbitrariness," says Michael Oppermann, Managing Director of the Federal Association of Taxis and Rental Cars (BVTM).
The industry is calling for uniform regulation: minimum prices should apply not only to taxis but also to platform brokers like Uber and Bolt.
Michael Oppermann makes it clear: The industry is not concerned with isolation, but with fair conditions.
“We have nothing against competition. But it is only fair when prices are approximately the same," says Oppermann. According to the law, municipalities have had the option for about four years to set minimum prices for rental cars as well. But in many places, this option remains unused.
Demonstration with a clear objective
The protest day on July 2 aims to make this inactivity visible. Coordinated actions are planned in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Mainz, Darmstadt, Dortmund, Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hanover, Solingen, Wuppertal, Bonn, and Berlin. More cities are in consultation with the local authorities.
The federal association calls on drivers and entrepreneurs to participate in the actions. Because whoever joins on July 2nd makes a statement – for fair competition, for fair wages, for the future of the taxi industry.
It's worth participating!
The day of action is not only a protest drive but also an appeal to politics and administration to live up to their responsibilities. Minimum prices for all transport services would be a first step towards more fairness on the roads.
Therefore: The taxi was and is part of public transport. Anyone who wants it to remain so must speak out now. On July 2nd – on the street.
