A third major professional body has voiced criticism of Luxembourg’s planned taxi reform. Following objections from the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts and the Chamber of Employees, the Taxi Federation has now raised concerns, citing uncertainties surrounding the planned liberalisation of the sector.
The federation echoes warnings from the other chambers about the risks of social dumping, unfair competition, and the fragmentation of established companies. In its critique, it highlighted a lack of clarity in the reform plans and the absence of investment guarantees for the transition to electric mobility.
Further concerns were raised that the liberalisation could lead to wage pressure, precarious working conditions for drivers, and an unfair advantage for large corporations. In response, the federation is demanding the establishment of a clear pricing framework, the preservation of the “zero emissions” licence, and the mandatory retention of taximeters for both taxis and rental vehicles with drivers.
