Transport by cab is the transportation of passengers in passenger vehicles which the operator keeps available at officially approved locations and with which he carries out journeys to a destination specified by the passenger. The operator may also accept transportation orders during a journey or at the place of business.
New applicants receive the permit for a maximum of two years. An extension is granted for a maximum of five years.
Holders of a cab permit have the following obligations:
- Duty to operate
You must maintain operations, including at night if necessary. - Obligation to provide transportation
You may only refuse journeys (even short ones) if the driver cannot reasonably be expected to provide transportation. This is the case, for example, if the driver is under the influence of alcohol. - Fare obligation
Within the compulsory travel area applicable to you, the price for a journey is based on the locally prescribed transportation charges. The compulsory fare area is usually the city or district in which the company is based.
The equipment of the cabs is prescribed. The following regulations apply:
- The vehicle must be equipped with a roof sign.
- You must affix a yellow registration license plate to the rear window of your cab; the registration number is issued by the licensing authority.
- The color scheme for cabs (light ivory) is prescribed in Bavaria, § 26 BOKraft.
- You must affix the company address in a clearly visible place inside the vehicle.
- The fare indicator must display the fare visibly for the passengers.
Cabs may be parked at the designated cab ranks and requested by passengers on the street or at the operator's place of business.
- The entrepreneur or the persons appointed to manage the company must be reliable and professionally suitable.
- The company must be secure. For example, there must be no arrears in taxes or social security contributions and vehicle maintenance must be impeccable.
- The company must be financially viable.
- The company's business locations entered in the commercial register or register of cooperatives must be in Germany.
You must apply for a cab permit in writing to the relevant authority. Depending on the service, you can download an application form from the Internet.
In the consultation procedure, the competent authority requests comments from, among others
- Municipalities
- trade supervisory authorities
- the Chamber of Industry and Commerce
- the relevant trade unions and professional associations
After the deadline for comments has expired, it decides on the application and informs the applicant of the result in writing.
