Tomáš Prouza claimed that the Prague magistrate abolished price caps for traditional taxis with taximeters from October 1, without notifying residents and tourists. According to him, this allowed drivers to charge a starting rate of 666 crowns and 444 crowns per kilometer, which he said could lead to rides costing tens of thousands of crowns. He linked the change to the long-term effort of traditional taxi drivers to limit competition from digital platforms. He stated that the parliamentary amendment, advocated by ANO and the Pirates, aimed to drive thousands of taxi drivers out of Prague. He attributed falling prices, better ride availability, and the ability to know the price in advance to the applications. According to Prouza, the responsibility for the taxi service area lay with Prague's deputy mayor for transport, Jaromír Beránek. Prouza called the change an adjustment pushed through at the request of the taxi mafia and warned that it could damage Prague's reputation. He also referred to the city's decision to abolish the price cap and questioned the timing of the change before the elections and its secrecy. https://t.co/ipI2QMVBLE #taxi #prague #praha #magistrat #taxi #praha #magistrat (translated)
