Taxi protest in Mainz: "Five past twelve – now the city must act!"
This Tuesday, the taxi industry in Mainz participated in a visible protest action on the nationwide action day organized by the Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars. Around 60 taxis drove in a motorcade through the city center, accompanied by a rally in front of the theater. The aim of the action was to draw attention to the unequal competitive conditions between taxis and platform intermediaries like Uber or Bolt – and to finally demand concrete action from the Mainz city administration.
Claus Madloch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AFT Funktaxizentrale Mainz and co-organizer of the Mainz action, expressed his conviction after the rally about the signal sent by the event:
"Through the national action day, it has finally been acknowledged in Mainz as well that something urgently needs to be done. The city administration must no longer ignore the dramatic situation. It is already five minutes past twelve. If action is not taken now, taxis will no longer exist in Mainz in a few years."
Minimum Prices for Platform Operators!
The central demand of the industry remains the introduction of minimum prices for platform-mediated rental cars, as expressly permitted by the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG). While taxis are bound to officially regulated tariffs, Uber & Co. can continue to set their own prices – often below any economic viability.
Guido Borning, Managing Director of the Mobility Umbrella Organization MOLO (Mobility and Logistics Rhineland-Palatinate e.V.), made it clear in his statement:
“The Passenger Transportation Act provides all the legal means to create fair conditions for all market participants. The Mainz city administration could immediately put an end to the unfair activities – they just need to want to do it. What is needed now is the courage to make decisions and the political will to take on social responsibility.”
The protests in Mainz today were part of a nationwide day of action with rallies in over ten German cities. The Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars expects that this clear message will initiate a rethinking among many municipal decision-makers.
The taxi industry is not fighting for special rights, but for a level playing field in competition. And for the survival of a profession that assumes responsibility for mobility, safety, and social participation every day.
