The service Berlin offers is a shared-ride taxi service and is not a solely demand-based service. An on-demand service would be immediate arrival, and is much more expensive. Such services might be offered by Uber or Lyft. Berlin instead offers a shared ride service, meaning people ride together. One of the many advantages of a shared-ride taxi service means the City is able to keep rates down because people ride together.
Please have the following information available when making a request for transportation:
- the full address of where you are located
