Genoa updates taxi regulations to modernize service

Genoa is revising its municipal taxi service regulations to modernize the sector through administrative simplification and digitalization. The new rules aim to align local practices with national and Transport Regulation Authority (ART) standards.

Key changes include the elimination of redundant municipal taximeter sealing, a process now superseded by national and European law. This move is intended to reduce bureaucratic burdens by removing the need for local government verification that is already performed by accredited bodies like Chambers of Commerce. Additionally, the revision introduces the digitalization of service shifts and seeks to implement more transparent market-based tariffs to improve efficiency for both operators and passengers.
