Freeing up Barcelona’s taxi sector could have €90m impact, says Free Now study

Liberalizing the taxi sector in Barcelona in order to make it more flexible would have an economic impact of €91.1 million, according to a study from mobility provider and the largest e-hailing company in Europe, Free Now. 

'Prospects for the future of urban mobility in Spain' was carried out in tandem with the PwC consultancy firm to identify aspects to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of mobility in Barcelona and Madrid.

In Barcelona's case, the study concludes that reviewing the restrictions on the number of licences granted and the partial easing of prices are the main measures that could have an impact worth 57.3 million euros.
