Ride sharing is specifically exempt from the regulations as long as the total fare is below the actual costs for the trip (fuel, tire wear, etc.). So yes, it's legal.
- tomp 12y agoMakes sense, because the idea of ride-sharing is that you're making the trip anyways, and you're just lowering the actual and ecological/wear-and-tear/wasted time costs if you're taking other people with you. Uber is very obviously not doing that.
- _up 12y agoI heard from another German startup that drives for tips. The idea is the App suggests a "fair" tip amount. And you probably wont be getting a taxi in the future, if you pay less. I am sceptical that this will fly with regulators, but who knows.
