Viennese taxi entrepreneur loses concession after 109 missteps!

Wien, Österreich - in Vienna was withdrawn from a taxi entrepreneur after he had committed more than 100 administrative violations in a period of three and a half years. The magistratic district office for the 1st and 8th district regularly conducts reviews of the reliability of taxi companies, with a total of 855 checks took place last year. Only reliable taxi companies receive and retain a concession, which underlines the importance of these reviews. The affected entrepreneur had been taken into account in 109 cases, 50 of which concerned the non -proportion of the handlebar information. Further violations included regulations for operating regulations and false parking.

The supervision of the taxi companies lies with the magistrate, and the head of the trade service, Sonja Dedelmahr, expressed optimistically about the measures of the office. It was also reported that the company's commercial lawyer was deregistered by the compulsory insurance, which is an additional risk. The entrepreneur himself raised a complaint with the administrative court and cited personal reasons, which in his opinion should justify the violations.

No transfer of the concession

In another context, a judgment of the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig shows that the approval for the transfer of rights and obligations from a taxi konse requires that the license still exists. In the specific case, the concession holder was certified by doubts about his reliability, which ultimately led to the immediate execution of the revocation of his concessions. Even if the concession holder applied for the transfer to a new operator, this application was rejected. The authority made it clear that approval is only possible for a reliable new operator and that the original concessions were no longer valid in order to be able to carry out a transfer. This was considered lawful by the Federal Administrative Court.

This shows how strict the regulations for approval of taxi concepts are and that in the event of unreliable of the current owners, there is no possibility of transmission. Only a new operator who meets all requirements can claim a license. In general, commercial passenger transport requires a valid approval in both Vienna and Berlin.

Application of a taxi concession

The application for a new taxi permit is made by a written application that must be sent to the responsible department. The application is examined by the authorities who contact the applicant in the event of questions. The decision on the approval and the fee notice are also sent by post to the entrepreneur address. Expensated permits must also be requested, but renewal is possible before the valid approval has expired.

The current developments in Vienna illustrate the strict regulatory requirements for taxi companies and the need for operators, to ensure their reliability and compliance with the regulations. This is in accordance with the general framework for taxi entrepreneurs in both Austria and Germany.
