Zusammenfassung:This Round Table examines the basic case for liberalisation of the taxi industry, and reviews experiences with taxi (de-)regulation in OECD and ECMT member countries.

The discussions of these aspects concluded that little empirical evidence supported the argument that entry restrictions improved capacity utilisation.
