New Municipal Decision: Introducing Women-exclusive Taxi Services in Munich
Munich, Germany, is home to a special Women’s Night Taxi service, designed to ensure the safety of women at night. The program, subject to budget constraints, collaborates with registered taxi companies to offer reduced-rate rides across the city, with designated pick-up and drop-off points.
To avail of this service, women in Munich must present a valid student ID, school ID, retirement or pensioner's ID, disability ID, Munich Pass, or an IHK apprentice card. The program is limited to residents of Munich, and there are no age restrictions for voucher recipients.
Vouchers for the Women's Night Taxi are worth ten euros each and can be obtained at the Citizen's Office. Additional distribution points include the Women's Equality Office in the town hall, certain events, and the "18.now" town hall clubbing event.
In emergencies, an emergency quota of vouchers is available at the Women's Equality Office in the town hall. The City Council of Munich has decided to continue the Women's Night Taxi program until at least July 29, 2025.
For accurate and up-to-date details including providers, phone numbers, and designated pick-up spots (standpoints) for Women’s Night Taxis in Munich, I recommend checking official Munich transportation websites such as the Munich public transport authority (MVV) or local taxi associations. Additionally, local government websites or women's safety initiatives for Munich may provide specific contacts and locations.
It is important to note that the Women's Night Taxi program in Munich is inclusive and welcomes all women, including trans* women, women with the gender entry "diverse," and non-binary women.
