description Abstract The new Passenger Transport Act came into force on 1 August 2021. It defines new forms of mobility. The reform contains two innovations: Firstly, a new occasional transport service, bundled on-demand transport, is permitted, creating the legal basis for such mobility services.

It remains to be seen what effects the law will have and the need for reform it will trigger in the future.
