## Please Note

It was decided to continue the Women\*'s Night Taxi on a permanent basis and the municipal subsidy for taxi journeys by women\* between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. was increased from the previous 5 euros to 10 euros from 1 January 2024.

## Questions and Answers

 
### Who can redeem a Women's Night Taxi voucher?

 

The Women's Night Taxi is aimed at women. This includes trans\* women and women with the gender entry "diverse" or non-binary women.

   
### Can I use a Women's Night Taxi voucher as a man?

 

No. The Women's Night Taxi is an offer for women.  


   
### Are men allowed to travel with women who use the Women's Night Taxi voucher?

 

No. The Women's Night Taxi is an offer for women. It applies to women travelling alone or in a group of women or with their children (under the age of 18).  


   
### Does the Women's Night Taxi service discriminate against men?

 

No. Measures that compensate for an existing disadvantage do not constitute discrimination. This is because women\* feel much less safe than men, especially in the evening or at night. The individual fear of crime therefore tends to be more pronounced in women\* than in men. This feeling of insecurity may lead to women\* avoiding certain situations in which they feel uncomfortable and withdrawing from public spaces at night, with the result that they no longer participate in social life.   


The "women's night taxi" institution is suitable for compensating for this disadvantage, at least in part, as it can give women\* the feeling that they can fall back on a safe ride if necessary and counteract avoidance behaviour, which in turn has a positive effect on mobility. As not all women\* have the necessary financial means for a taxi, the subsidy granted by the City of Munich for the Women's Night Taxi helps to ensure that women\* can travel at night independently of public transport.   


The subsidy does not place a disproportionate burden on men. Taxis will continue to be available to them and their prices will not become more expensive for men because the vouchers reduce the taxi price for women\* using the voucher.   


The "women's night taxi" scheme is therefore not a violation of the principle of equality.   


   
### How long are the "old" yellow vouchers valid?

 

The 'old' yellow vouchers with the discount value printed on them are only valid until 31 December 2024 and can no longer be redeemed by women\* for night-time journeys with taxi drivers from 1 January 2025.   


   
### What if the taxi journey costs less than 10 euros?

 

The discount is adjusted to the lower fare, i.e. the amount of the discount is identical to the fare. For example, if the journey costs 7 euros, the discount is 7 euros.   


   
### What should I do if the vouchers are not accepted?

 

If the taxi driver does not accept a Frauen\*-Nacht-Taxi voucher, the authorised user can submit the completed taxi voucher together with the taxi receipt (original in each case), stating the account details, directly to the District Administration Department, HA I/222, Ruppertstr. 19, 80466 Munich for settlement.
