Overview

• PSC, Junts, ERC, Comuns and the CUP jointly filed legislation to regulate passenger transport of up to nine seats and prioritize the taxi sector.
• Urban VTC licenses would be non-transferable and limited to two years, extendable by two, with longer terms for vehicles adapted for reduced mobility to drive a gradual reduction in the VTC fleet.
• VTC trips must be booked at least 10 minutes in advance and cannot be street‑hailed, while geolocation becomes mandatory for both taxis and VTCs, with fines up to €6,000 for serious violations.
• The taxi is defined as a service of general economic interest with regulated fares, mandatory taximeters, restricted grounds to refuse rides, and local control over license numbers.
• Drivers must attain Catalan B1 within two years, with Junts and the CUP signaling an amendment to raise it to B2, as VTC groups forecast job losses and prepare mobilizations, and the bill moves through a 2025–2026 debate toward possible late‑2026 approval.
