I don't know anything about the taxi industry in New York, or how well it is regulated. I have no idea whether NY medallions are traded in a similar manner to Germany's taxi concessions, or whether they are really related in any way. I was not bringing up New York at all, and whatever problems NY has with medallions either do not seem to apply to Germany, or at least do not seem to translate into customer effects, given that I was talking about how good, reliable, and safe taxis are in Germany. From what I can tell, they seem to be able to make a living.
- eru 3y agoHow do you get a taxi concession in Germany?
- anyfoo 3y agoApparently, by requesting it from the state, and fulfilling a whole laundry list of requirements. Including exams, background checks, disclosing financial information, adding an alarm system to the car, and more: https://www-bussgeldkatalog-org.translate.goog/taxikonzession/?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://www-bussgeldkatalog-org.translate.goog/taxikonzessio... This also mentions that a concession cannot be sold, but if an entire taxi business is sold, the concession can be sold with it. It expires after 5 years however. I still don't understand how what is going on in New York has anything to do with taxis in Germany. Whatever Germany is doing seems to work, and whatever New York is doing apparently not? I don't know, I'm not familiar with NY taxis.
