Budapest Airport has abolished the 5-minute free passage for taxis registered in Budapest in airport parking lots since August, which has sparked a significant debate between taxi organizations and the airport operator. The Metropolitan Taxi Association believes that this decision could lead to a deterioration in service quality, and therefore requests that the measure be postponed.
Another twist in the airport taxi debate, Budapest Airport has spoken out - They see the abolition of the free passage option as the elimination of an exception.
The five-minute free passage for taxi drivers in the parking lots of Liszt Ferenc International Airport will be terminated, so from August 3, they may have to pay a parking fee after each passenger gets on and off. According to the Metropolitan Taxi Association, the measure could significantly worsen the quality of the service, which is why they are asking Budapest Airport to suspend it and urging the government to intervene.
