An association since 2017
Taxiunionen brings together app taxi drivers and operators in Sweden. We organise drivers and operators, engage with authorities and decision-makers, and work for a taxi industry you can make a living from.

Why we exist
We work in an industry full of pressure, worry and stress. Many drivers and operators have identified the causes — but naming a problem is not the same as solving it.
Changing our situation takes energy, initiative and solutions. Taxiunionen was founded by operators and drivers to make the industry better, more stable and more secure.
About TaxiunionenWe bring drivers and operators together to pursue shared issues and strengthen their voice in the taxi industry.
We talk with the Transport Agency, the Tax Agency and other bodies that shape our working days.
We explain to the public, the media and decision-makers what app taxi work actually looks like.
Discounts and support for accounting, legal advice, fuel, vehicles and taximeters.

Knowledge & advocacy
We are building an open knowledge base on regulation, working conditions and the politics that affect app taxi. We keep facts, our own positions and external sources apart.
The basics: what gig work and platform work are, and how app taxi differs from traditional taxi work.
Working hours, income, costs, safety and the division of responsibility between driver, operator and platform.
Content in progress
Traffic permits, taximeters, reporting centres and the Swedish rules that govern daily work.
Content in progress
Taxiunionen's written input to inquiries and legislative work — and what each consultation is about.

Media
In Svenska Dagbladet, Taxiunionen argues that free pricing has contributed to taxi scams and weakened consumer trust.
The association calls for order, reasonable prices, fair conditions and a system that makes it easier for customers to understand what a taxi ride should cost.

Consultation
Taxiunionen submits an extensive response to SOU 2026:3 on how the EU Platform Work Directive should be implemented in Sweden.
Taxiunionen broadly welcomes rules based on actual direction and control, but warns that platforms must not be able to avoid responsibility by placing operators or other intermediaries between the platform and the person doing the work.
The response covers price setting, pay, allocation of rides, account deactivation and algorithmic control.

Arlanda
Taxiunionen submits its response to SOU 2025:67, the public inquiry on Arlanda's role for Swedish prosperity.
The association raises the need for clearer consumer protection, better pricing, competitively neutral open queues, more modern call-forward systems, order on the taxi areas and better enforcement.
Among other things Taxiunionen proposes fewer and neutral open queues, and the principle that whoever reaches the taxi holding area first should also be called forward first.
2023–2024
Member decision
With dialogue with the large platforms no longer working, members choose another route: building an alternative where drivers and operators themselves have influence.
That decision becomes the basis for Fair Taxi.

Member benefit
As a member you can get access to an insurance solution built for taxi operations — a benefit that may mean a significant financial saving for drivers and operators. Terms and price examples will be published once verified.
Fair Taxi
Taxiunionen sought dialogue with the large app companies about the conditions of drivers and operators. During 2023 that dialogue was effectively shut down — by several companies at almost the same time.
Members then decided on the way forward and voted to create their own member-owned alternative. That became Fair Taxi.
Member benefits
As a member you get access to partners who understand the taxi trade — from bookkeeping and migration law to fuel, Tesla service and taximeter installation.
