Inspections pursuant to BOKraft §§ 41, 42


Vehicles subject to paid passenger transport
The Regulation on the Operation of Passenger Car Companies, or BOKraft for short, is of fundamental importance to taxi and car rental companies.

Among other things, it includes provisions for the equipment of certain motor vehicles used for paid passenger transport. The operation of the company as well as the equipment and condition of the vehicles must meet the special requirements arising from the confidence in safe and proper transport. BOKraft thus regulates the operation of a transport undertaking and defines the minimum requirements (equipment and condition) for occasional motor vehicles and regular/ intercity bus services.

On behalf of the KÜS we offer as services in the context of paid passenger transport:
