The Federal Association of Taxis and Rental Cars invites to a political evening event in Berlin on October 15. The venue for the Parliamentary Taxi Evening is the VW Drive Forum at the corner of Unter den Linden and Friedrichstraße – in close proximity to the Bundestag and ministries.

By choosing the venue, the association aims to create a setting for exchange between political decision-makers and representatives of the taxi and rental car industry. The evening is intended to serve both substantive discussion and personal acquaintance.

Focus on Passenger Transportation Law

The central theme of the event is the development of the Passenger Transportation Act (PBefG) since its amendment four years ago. The focus is on questions such as how the law is currently evaluated by the responsible policymakers, what expectations are associated with the upcoming evaluation, and where potential need for improvement is seen.

Requested Political Representatives

Invited as speakers are members of parliament responsible for passenger transport law within their parliamentary groups. These include Stefan Zierke (SPD, Brandenburg), Victoria Broßart (Alliance 90/The Greens, Bavaria), Luigi Pantisano (The Left, Baden-Württemberg) as well as Michael Donth (CDU, Baden-Württemberg). Donth has been familiar with the topic for several legislative periods.

Impulses from Municipalities and the Association

The program is supplemented by contributions from the German Association of Cities and the host Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars. The goal is a well-founded exchange on the industry’s challenges and perspectives.

Mobility in the Context of Politics and Vehicle History

The event is accompanied by an exhibition of iconic vehicles from the history of the Volkswagen Group. The cooperation with Volkswagen underscores the mobility aspect of the evening, which is under the leitmotif "Mobility from Human to Human."
