Question 6177

With a "B" driver's license, are you allowed to drive a taxi in service?

  1. Yes.
  2. No, you must also have the "BTP" authorization.
  3. On urban roads, yes; on roads outside a built-up area, no.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. A taxi is a passenger car, and a category B license lets you drive it in service on any road, provided it does not exceed an MMA of 3,500 kg or 9 seats, including the driver's seat. The BTP authorization, which used to be required for taxis, no longer exists.
