Munich wants fair wages for rental car drivers!
Quickly booked, quickly driven – but at what price? Using ride-hailing apps has long been part of everyday life for many people in Munich. Yet, despite the convenience, there is a growing desire for reliability. This is shown by a recent, representative survey conducted by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of the mobility platform Freenow.
According to the survey, 67.7 percent of respondents in Munich are in favor of transparent and comprehensible pricing for rides with apps like Uber, Bolt, or Freenow. Especially evident is the approval among active app users: here, even 85.9 percent support price clarity – a clear signal to providers and politicians.
```Price Transparency Connects Generations
The desire for clear rules is prevalent across almost all age groups. It is particularly pronounced among those aged 30 to 39, with approval ratings of over 93 percent. The topic also remains relevant among older respondents: Over 70 percent of those over 40 and more than 60 percent of seniors over 65 consider transparent pricing important.
For Alexander Mönch, President of Freenow Germany & Austria, this comes as no surprise.
“Behind every ride is a person who earns their living through this work. This performance must be fairly compensated—anything else is not fair, but cynical,” said Mönch.
Majority Open to Legal Minimum Prices
More than half of the respondents (51.4 percent) support the introduction of legally regulated minimum prices for app-based ride services – even if this leads to higher prices. Among active users, who would be directly affected by higher costs, approval is also at a significant level with 39.1 percent.
In particular, the older urban population supports the demand: Almost 60 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds and 57.9 percent of those over 65 approve of legally secured price floors. The finding suggests: The concern for fair working conditions outweighs the desire for cheap rides.
Political Potential Recognized
Another finding of the survey that might also be relevant for local politicians: 38.4 percent of respondents would rate a party more positively if it advocates for fair minimum prices and legal structures in the ride service sector. Among the over 40s, this value rises to up to 48.6 percent.
The numbers show that the discussion on pricing in app-based transport is no longer a niche topic. In times of growing attention to social justice and fair work, clear rules are met with broad approval – not only from those who are driving but also from those who are driven.
