30 euros for one minute – a taxi driver had only one passenger boarded at Vienna-Schwechat airport and was promptly punished. He therefore criticizes the regulations there and the airport defends itself against the accusations.
“It seems that we are welcome to take passengers to the airport. But we are no longer welcome when we are picked up,” says a driver of a taxi company from the Mödling district at Vienna-Schwechat airport. decides because he had parked his car – exactly one minute – in front of parking garage 4 (see facsimile).
“I only let a customer in and didn’t block anyone,” he says.
Other similar speeding offenses were sent to the “Krone”. “For some time taxis have been photographed when they are picked up and then reported”, the person concerned is convinced. Postscript: “You’d probably want to make work harder for outside taxi companies.”
“Traffic flow must work”
Airport spokesman Peter Kleemann strongly rejects these allegations: “The traffic rules also apply to the streets at the airport.” Compliance is especially important in the terminal area due to the large number of vehicles. He points to 30 taxi parking spaces on the property, some even in front of parking lot 4. “This taxi driver should have waited for his passenger there. The areas next to it are clearly marked as no stopping and no parking.” Kleemann understands that the regulation is sometimes criticized as well. But he emphasizes: “We have to make sure the flow works.”
