Finland will use green license plates for taxis
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Finnish government will begin using green license plates on taxis throughout the country starting in 2027.
The Council of State issued a decree on Thursday establishing the new standard for taxi vehicles. The plates will have a green background with black lettering. This change applies to all cars used for taxi services, including those operating through platform services like ride-hailing apps.
The new rule takes effect on January 1, 2027, with a six-month transition period for taxi owners to comply. After the transition, all taxis must display the green license plates and also maintain a taxi light on the vehicle’s roof. The government expects the change to make taxis more easily identifiable for passengers and authorities.
