LFV wanted to give the major taxi companies their own lanes at Terminal 5 and change the layout at Terminal 2. The change was aimed at giving priority to taxi companies with a large number of environmentally clean cars and expanding service to taxi customers.
However, the Swedish Competition Authority thought that the new layout would give the big companies a competitive advantage, an argument that the Swedish Market Court thus concurred with in the decision announced this morning.
“We will obviously comply with the decision but are concerned about how to reduce the environmental impact of taxis when we have this decision while at the same time providing better customer service than is now the case,” Lindqvist notes.
