Travel cost contribution from the City of Villach - Villach Shared Taxi (VAXI)

The travel cost contribution from the City of Villach supports private individuals with taxi rides within the Villach city area during nighttime hours from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM. After prior registration through the local taxi center, the fare is initially paid by the participants, while the City of Villach covers the remaining balance. This continuously available subsidy aims to promote social participation, mobility, and safety during the evening and night hours, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the shared urban living space.

Eligible for funding are all citizens who undertake a registered taxi ride within the specified times and comply with the simple requirement of prior registration with the taxi center. Applications can be submitted at any time, with no fixed deadlines to observe. Eligible expenses are limited to the pure taxi costs within the Villach city area. Due to the low-threshold access and unlimited duration, this measure is particularly aimed at people who rely on flexible mobility solutions, for example in the context of shift work or social activities late in the evening. The transparent and unbureaucratic processing helps ensure that nighttime mobility in Villach remains safe, affordable, and inclusive.
