Munich marks a milestone: TMV welcomes the introduction of minimum transport charges as a signal for fair competition across Germany
The step toward the introduction of the MBE, according to TMV President Thomas Kroker, marks not only a historic achievement for Munich's business community, but also sends a landmark signal for the entire Federal Republic of Germany.
With the decision to introduce a minimum transport fare, the Bavarian capital Munich draws a clear line against unfair competition by platform-based ride-hailing providers. The MBE, which is oriented to Munich's taxi tariff, will prevent in the future that global platforms such as Uber or Bolt destabilize the market through systematic price dumping.
“What Munich has decided today is an act of reason and social responsibility. For years taxi operators had to watch how rental car fleets operated at prices that are neither economically viable nor compliant with social security law,” said TMV President Thomas Kroker. “Munich now shows that the municipalities can consistently use the instruments of the Passenger Transport Act to protect the taxi trade as part of the public provision of services.”
More Flexible Taxi Tariffs Welcomed
In addition to the MBE, the TMV also welcomes the flexibilization of taxi fares through the expansion of the fare corridor for advance bookings. This reform enables the taxi industry to respond more dynamically to customer needs while maintaining the high quality and reliability that passengers expect from taxis.
The TMV sees in the Munich decision a model for other major German cities. The "level playing field," which is now being created in Munich, must become the standard across Germany.

We call on other cities and counties to follow suit and introduce minimum fares where hire-car traffic threatens the viability of the taxi trade,” Kroker continues. “Only in this way can we permanently secure fair working conditions and broad mobility—even in off-peak times and peripheral areas.”
