Taxis are part of the collective public transport chain. Recommendation of the EU public-private Smart Move High Level Group.

This brochure contains the EU public-private Smart Move High Level Group (HLG) recommendations specifically dedicated to taxis, as contained in the Background Paper and presented on 15 May 2013 at a public event organised in the European Parliament. In particular, the HLG recommended to recognise taxis, hire cars with driver services, and car sharing, as a valuable and necessary element of the collective public transport chain. The HLG also recommended that the role of taxis be considered in all mobility policy proposals, collective transport funding, research, and notably, urban mobility planning.
