Customers complained about high prices, Prague City Hall renewed the regulation of taxi fares

In Prague, taxi fare regulation has been reinstated, setting a maximum price of 42 crowns per kilometer and 7 crowns per minute of waiting. This decision follows numerous complaints about high taxi fares. The previous deregulation was reversed due to its negative impact on customer pricing. The city aims to protect consumers from excessive charges, as market mechanisms alone have proven insufficient. The regulation for alternative services like Uber was abolished last year. The taxi association welcomed the reinstatement but called for more transparency and oversight to prevent exploitation by traditional taxi drivers.
