Details: Uber Pop remains illegal in Sweden – Expressen

the Government’s Taxiutredning be presented at a press conference on Wednesday morning.

According to Expressen experience will the results of the investigation in part to the benefit of operators like Uber – but probably criticised by the traditional taxibranschen.

the Commission’s directive has been to "investigate and possibly submit proposals on the obligatory use of taximeter equipment in taxis without the possibility of exemption". Furthermore, the government sought to review the "needs of, and possibly submit a proposal for, a new category of professional carriage of passengers with a passenger car or light truck".

And last, but not least, "to review, and possibly propose modifications to, or clarifications of, the rules for car-sharing between private individuals".

known as festival

the Latter is probably the hottest issue. This after the company Uber in 2014 launched their version of lift-sharing (Uber pop), which came to be known as the city centre business.

Several drivers was reported to the police, and the service was shut down by Uber earlier this year.

Taxiutredningen now seen over the the rules for car sharing is expected to give the critics the right in the question, according to the Expressen experience.

Carpooling may not mean that any party making an economic profit, learn to be one of the conclusions of the inquiry.

But what about the new category of "passengers" get to the Uber be more satisfied.

the Company has long fought for the drivers to be able to use private cars for the taxi business during the short periods of time.

the Ubers sweden manager Martin Hedevåg said this in an interview with Expressen recently:

” Our vision is to make society more effectively. Imagine a car rental agent that has a lot of activity in the weeks when people need to rent a car, which goes down on the weekends. When needed, however, more taxis, which may be less in demand in the few weeks.

Taxiutredningen is not expected to go quite so far in its recommendation, but still point out that today there are other technical possibilities which do not require a traditional taximeter. External decals and marking of comparison price of the cars are to be avoided in cases where the reservations is made at a fixed price by a central (for example a mobile application).

the Taximeter will remain a requirement for the taxis that continue to want to be able to pick up passengers spontaneously along the way and run with the running cost.

A taxitrafiktillstånd from the Swedish transport agency should be required of anyone who wants to drive a taxi in any form, beats the investigation firm.

Expert do not want to comment

It should, however, remain a requirement for the traditional taxi industry, which wishes to pick up passengers anywhere.

the bank’s former chief economist Anna Felländer has been an expert in taxiutredningen. She would not comment on the data in the study directly but said that work overall aimed to make the rules clearer.

“For me as an expert to the investigation, it has been a balancing act between allowing delningsekonomin to flourish, to lower the inträdesbarriärerna in the traditional taxibranschen and to maintain control, which allows tax paid in the right way,” she says and develop:

– The technological and digital development, including Uber stood for is something that paves the way for the traditional taxibranschen to be transformed so that we can better take care of the digitisation opportunities.

She admits that she is pronounced delningsekonomiförespråkare and to transform sometimes is good to force the incumbents to adapt to new technologies and customers ‘ new needs.

– At each technological paradigm shift, it’s about to make the transformation as smooth as possible. The big traditional industries are being challenged, and I think it is important to apply as technology-neutral regelverksanpassningar as possible. At the same time that we care about the privacy, security for the customer and security for the worker, ” she says.
