Taxi industry in Berlin: New signals regarding the minimum fare and platform rules.
Representatives of the mobility association VSPV and of Berlin state politics have continued their discussions on current issues of the taxi and rental-car trade. According to the association, the transport and mobility policy spokesperson of the SPD faction in the Berlin House of Representatives, Tino Schopf, as well as VSPV Managing Director Sascha Waltemate and VSPV General Authorized Signatory Patrick Meinhardt, held a regular exchange in the capital.
Joint representation of interests
The focus of the meeting was on industry-relevant political and regulatory issues. The association emphasized the importance of close cooperation between associations and political decision-makers. The aim is to use existing networks, exchange expertise, and support the trade's common concerns.
Minimum tariff for rental cars in focus
A central topic was the discussion of a minimum tariff for rental cars in Berlin. Schopf, according to the association, advocates corresponding regulations at the state level. In addition, the discussion partners dealt with the federal political framework conditions for dealing with platform providers in passenger transport.
The participants see the taxi trade as an important part of public service provision. Accordingly, regulatory questions and the future design of the market were also the focus of the exchange.
VSPV hands over trade publications
As part of the meeting, Waltemate and Meinhardt handed over several of the association's publications to Schopf. These include materials on the taximeter app, on VSPV Standard 101, as well as information brochures on patient transport.
In addition, the Berlin politician received a background paper on the public-transport taxi as a building block of the mobility transition, a publication on inclusive taxis, and a detailed position paper from the association on the Passenger Transport Act. The documents are intended, according to the association, to support the political work on the relevant industry topics. (Source: VSPV)
