€1.09 for the connection: Bahntaxi raises the price per kilometer.

As of March 1, the per-kilometer price in the Bahntaxi project will increase. Instead of the previous €1.06 net, participating businesses will now receive €1.09 net per kilometer driven. The adjustment is backed by a collaboration between Taxi Deutschland, FMS Systems, and the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars e.V. (BVTM).

Three cents may seem modest at first glance. In a high-volume project like Bahntaxi, however, the difference adds up. For many companies, the framework agreement with the rail operator is a predictable building block in day-to-day business — especially in times of rising operating, energy, and personnel costs. The price adjustment takes this development into account and gives the businesses a bit more room to maneuver.

A stable building block in turbulent times

The Bahntaxi has established itself in recent years as a bridge between rail and road. If a train is cancelled, the onward journey is delayed or a construction site forces a changeover, the taxi steps in. For passengers, the mobility chain remains intact; for businesses, a predictable assignment arises.

Especially in economically strained phases, such contractually regulated transport operations gain importance. They are not a substitute for free-market business, but a reliable complement. The new per-kilometer price sends a signal here: The project partners acknowledge the cost reality in the industry.

Digitalization as a second pillar

Parallel to the price development, the participants drive technological modernization forward. Brokerage and billing systems are further digitized, processes standardized, payment flows accelerated. For the companies, this means less administrative effort and more transparency – from order intake to invoicing.

The cooperation between Taxi Deutschland, FMS Systems, and the Federal Association shows that digitization in the taxi industry is not merely a buzzword. It increasingly determines how efficiently orders can be processed and how quickly liquidity is created.

With the increase to 1.09 euros per kilometer and the expansion of digital structures, the Bahntaxi project strengthens its role in the market. Even though it is only a small step in the right direction—it remains an instrument for securing orders—and an example of how collective solutions can prevail in the fragmented industry.
