Among other measures, the new legislation requires the drivers to take a training course for taxi drivers of a length to be defined at a later date. There will be new licences for the partners and platforms and all the drivers will have to have a work contract with the partner companies.

The platforms will also have to pay a fee to “compensate for the costs”.

This is a kind of tax on the commissions that are charged for each journey and will be between 0.1% and 2% depending on a government order yet to be issued.
