Taxi integration planned: New public transport app "Max" coming in 2026
Berlin and Hamburg are jointly developing a new app for public transport, which is also intended to integrate on-demand services such as taxis into the user interface. The application, named "Max," is designed to enable passengers to flexibly configure mobility options. The launch is planned for the second half of 2026.
The app follows a modular design: users can freely move and arrange individual transport options – such as bus, subway, or taxi – within the user interface. This aims to provide a central, customizable platform for combined mobility usage.
Taxi booking planned as an integral part
According to Robert Henrich, CEO of Hamburger Hochbahn, taxi integration has been considered from the beginning. Users will not only be able to make taxi bookings directly in the app, but also determine the position of the taxi option in the interface themselves – comparable to a tile in the "app-within-an-app" principle. The goal is to represent access to taxis equally alongside other modes of transport.
Functions and expansion possibilities
In addition to taxi booking, classic functions such as route planning, ticket purchasing, and capacity information are also planned. Furthermore, additional mobility offers such as e-scooters or car-sharing services can be integrated. The app is also intended to be open to other transportation companies in the future.
Joint Development Saves Costs
The Berlin Transport Company (BVG) and Hamburg Hochbahn are sharing the development costs. The cooperation aims to avoid duplicate structures and utilize the technical basis more efficiently. The companies involved have not yet specified a concrete sum.
For the taxi industry, the project offers the perspective of becoming more visible in the public transport context and being part of an overarching digital mobility platform. The open architecture of the app could also integrate regional providers in the medium term.
