The taxi legislation of 2017 forced Uber out of Denmark. Now the government is considering relaxing the law so that rural areas, which are inadequately serviced by taxis, could have an alternative. When and if it will actually become a reality, we will know after the transport expert committee report at the end of 2024.
- The transport ministry is looking into alternatives for economically unsustainable bus routes in certain areas of Denmark. Among the options are carpooling, car sharing, flex traffic, Uber-like services, and other models.
- Moderaterne (Social Liberal Moderates) are looking forward to the legalization of platform-based driving services, as it will increase opportunities to get back home at night. However, the trade unions dismiss that argument, saying that such services will only function in populated areas (as shown by the usage of Uber in other countries).
