Restore 'taxi meter' requirement and enforce control rules for cab operators
MPs Geir Inge Lien, Bengt Fasteraune, and Trygve Slagsvold Vedum propose amending the Taxi and Rental Vehicle Act to reinstate the term 'taxi meter' and mandate enforcement of control provisions. The proposers contend that the Storting approved control rules for the cab industry in June 2025, but the ministry excluded the provisions from the implementation. They argue the law should use 'taxi meter' instead of the technology-neutral term 'control equipment', and that requirements for automatic registration of booking and ride requests, along with hardwired connections between the meter and the vehicle, must take effect.
