The association demands equal competitive conditions between conventional tax companies and platform-based competitors.

Index recalls that protests by conventional taxi company drivers in the summer of 2016 drove platform-based taxi company Uber out of Hungary.

Bolt has no brand protected logo in Hungary but uses one, which is illegal for a taxi company, the association said.

Association leader Zoltán Metál said a taxi service should pay taxes and other budget contributions in the country where the service is provided, “if in Hungary, then here, not elsewhere”.
