New rules for taxi fares come into effect

The new taxi fare regulation comes into effect on October 23, 2026, allowing until January 2027 for taximeters to be adapted. Initially published on June 3, the regulation features a lower base fare with variable rates based on time and distance, which may increase during holidays. After a 60-day suspension for associations to propose adjustments, the final regulation was issued, incorporating some operational suggestions but rejecting economic proposals. The regulation aims to simplify pricing and establish a reference fare to enhance transparency and understanding for users and professionals. Local transport authorities can set specific tariffs based on regional characteristics. A digital platform will be developed for data management related to the regulation.
