Overview

• Córdoba’s Services committee relaunched debate on a new bus framework, with its chair targeting a plenary vote in October and a concession tender by late Q1 2026 if passed.
• The Córdoba draft reorganizes routes into troncal, enlace and barrial services, mandates low-floor accessibility, and requires onboard GPS and panic buttons linked to an Observatorio de la Movilidad.
• The proposal caps concessions at 10 years with limited extensions, sets minimum service frequencies, and allows penalties up to license revocation with 10-year ineligibility.
• Córdoba’s August 14 ordinance for ride‑hailing remains unimplemented pending executive reglamentación on registrations and potential quotas, as the taxi union filed an amparo on Sept. 9 challenging the law.
• Madrid’s city government definitively approved a taxi ordinance to raise adapted eurotaxis from about 2.35% to 5%, creating new licenses by contest, allowing eurotaxis to work seven days, requiring at least 150 annual services, affiliation to a booking intermediary, GPS in all taxis, ESO for new drivers, a simplified exam, and applying the license‑by‑points system to license holders.
