General assembly of the LVBTM — taxi companies demand more political backing.
Entrepreneurs from across Bavaria gathered in Ingolstadt on Tuesday to discuss the future of the industry. The focus was on rising operating costs, new legal requirements, and the digital transformation. Many businesses view the competition with international ride-hailing platforms as particularly critical. These platforms, according to the association, continued to benefit from regulatory advantages, while regional taxi and rental-car companies would have to ensure mobility nationwide.
The industry's interests at the center
Kroker made clear from the outset of the meeting that the requirements on the industry were steadily increasing. Together with his deputies Holger Klier and Alfred Lehmair, he urged unity within the association. Although differing positions are part of a lively association, Kroker said, what is decisive is that the industry's interests are at the center.
Economically as well, the association faces tougher conditions. Declining revenues and rising expenses made prudent handling of finances necessary. At the same time, the association leadership stressed that the state association remains solidly positioned.
Association leadership discharged
Managing Director Christian Linz informed the members about the ongoing association work as well as current political developments at state and federal levels. In the subsequent treasury report, auditor Donald Dickau certified the board's bookkeeping as proper. The members subsequently discharged the association leadership.
In the discussions, it became clear once again which role the taxi trade, especially outside metropolitan areas, plays. The companies see themselves as part of the public provision of services – for example at night, in rural areas or in transporting older and mobility-impaired people. The association therefore advocated for technology-open solutions, feasible environmental regulations, and a stronger involvement of the taxi trade in municipal transport strategies.
Change, yes, but only with fair conditions
Kroker emphasized that the companies were prepared to support the transition. However, this requires reliable political framework conditions and fair competitive conditions.
In addition to the debates, routine elections were also on the agenda. The members unanimously confirmed several board members in office or elected them anew. Holger Klier from Würzburg remains first deputy chairman. As board members were elected Bilgün Özkan from Nuremberg for Middle Franconia, Michael Fiegl from Bamberg for Upper Franconia, Marco Schmid from Würzburg for Lower Franconia, and Jessica Rose from Passau for Lower Bavaria. The new auditor is Antonia von Kleinsorgen from Erlangen.
Reliable mobility only with taxis
The final election results were interpreted by the association leadership as a signal of stability within the state association. In the future, the board members are to be more closely involved in shaping opinion and in the association's work, according to Kroker.
In conclusion, the chairman again called on politicians. Anyone who wants to ensure safe and socially reliable mobility must regard the taxi and rental car trades as a permanent component of public transport—not only in the cities but also in rural areas.
