National Taxi Action Day: Motorcade through the Heart of Berlin
The daily routine is determined and structured: In the morning, the car parade begins crisscrossing the city, visibly against the competitive pressure generated by Uber & Co. Michael Oppermann, managing director of the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars, puts it succinctly:
“The taxi industry calls on the cities infected by Uber: Finally implement minimum prices! Social dumping and illegal work must be curbed.”
Minimum prices: possible for a long time – just not implemented
With the amendment of the Passenger Transportation Act in 2021, cities were given the opportunity to also mandate minimum transport fees for rental cars. So far, only Leipzig and Lörrach have taken action.
Berlin debated intensively and as early as January, the Mobility Committee of the House of Representatives advocated for minimum prices. A “urgent proposal” from CDU and SPD found broad support, yet nothing concrete has been implemented so far – a situation that the industry is no longer willing to tolerate in light of competition from platform providers.
Why the Need is Urgent Now
The demand is clear: the same price level for taxis and rental cars in order to stop market distortion. The association also points to the practical dimension: revisions, transparency, taxes, social contributions – all of which are embedded in taxis, but not in Uber & Co.
An imbalance that has long been reflected in the numbers: In Berlin alone, during inspections last year, more than 1,600 vehicles were flagged for lack of approval or illegal work.
A Look into the Rally
Speakers from associations and politics – including SPD, Linke, and TMV – are announced. Their goal: to make local politicians, the Senate, and the Senate administration aware of what could be possible – and necessary. Michael Oppermann warns:
“Only with approximately the same prices is competition fair.”
There are two questions in the room that the protest aims to address: When will Berlin implement minimum prices – and who will take responsibility to save the taxi industry from a market collapse?
Today's day of action is more than a protest – it is a wake-up call.
