Summary
A scientific discussion paper now shows: The industry also missed trends. The decisive difference between a taxi and a rental car platform such as Uber or Bolt becomes clear on an afternoon in Frankfurt am Main: If you want to take a taxi from Frankfurt Central Station to the airport, a fixed price of 38 euros is displayed on the taxi brokerage app Free Now. First of all, it turns out that the price is quite a central criterion: "More than 39 percent of all respondents associate with the topic of taxi directly high costs or the attribute "too expensive", write the author.
Furthermore, The basis of the WZB study are two non-representative surveys of passers-by and taxi passengers in the Rhine-Main area in June this year with a total of almost 900 respondents. The Free Now platform, which is now part of the US mobility platform Lyft, has been providing exclusively taxi rides for several years and has positioned itself as a digital advocate for the industry in Germany. “The fact that digital booking and cashless payment are no longer a pure big city phenomenon is shown by our platform data from smaller cities as well as popular holiday and leisure regions,” the company said on request.
