Criticism of the state
Cab companies feel disadvantaged by BAST
As reported, the Burgenländische Anrufsammeltaxi (BAST) is in full swing. By the end of the year, it should also be on the road in northern Burgenland. The local cab companies, on the other hand, are not very happy with the mobility service.
"We would be delighted if the private cab companies were also involved," says Hubert Bleich, Chairman of the Taxi Section of the Chamber of Commerce. This is because the BAST is currently mainly operated by the state company, Verkehrsbetriebe Burgenland (VBB). According to Bleich, only a few of the 120 private cab companies in Burgenland are allowed to participate.
No invitation in the district of Mattersburg
In the district of Mattersburg, not a single private cab company was invited to participate, adds Bernhard Dillhof, Managing Director of the trade group.
VBB: Companies had no interest
Wolfgang Werderits, Managing Director of the VBB, is annoyed by the criticism. Of more than 30 private companies that had expressed interest, only a few had applied for the tender. In total, four Burgenland companies were involved in the BAST. The rest are operated by the VBB with its own vehicles and drivers. Werderits also rejects the accusation that the state is competing with the cab companies: "Our offer is an additional business that didn't exist before. We are not taking business away from them."
