30. CAR SHARING REGULATION
REGULATIONS ARE EVOLVING
• No specific laws relating to car sharing as the term has yet to be defined
• Currently covered under same laws as for private vehicles
• Most relevant is Motor Liability Insurance Act (279/1959)
• Cars intended for car sharing must be registered and insured as rental car
• Insurance premiums are priced based on high risk categories
• Recommendations have been made to government for a clearer framework for car sharing
32. RIDE SHARING IS AN EXCITING NEW OPPORTUNITY
SUMMARY
• HELSINKI IS A GLOBAL PIONEER in novel mobility and intelligent transport concepts such as
mobility-as-a-service
• Presently the Finnish ride sharing market is still at a very early stage. Most of the operators are
START-UP COMPANIES OR NON-COMMERCIAL PLATFORMS for ride share matching which are
maintained on a voluntary basis
• 41% of ride share trips in Finland are LONG DISTANCE (over 100 km)
• 37% are for leisure; 14% to attend specific events and 7% for commuting
• NEW POLICY AND REGULATION will be needed to further enable car sharing on a fee-paying basis
• Helsinki region has an open invitation to Finnish and international companies to participate in PILOT
SCHEMES and to offer their solutions to the Helsinki region market
33. AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY
POTENTIAL
• Presently there are no available market studies about the scale of the current or potential ride
sharing market in Helsinki region or Finland as a whole
• However, based on the number of operators it can be estimated that the market is rather small
• Most of the operators are start-up companies or non-commercial platforms for ride share
matching which are maintained on a voluntary basis
• Some operators have a corporate edition of their service but the volume of this market is also
estimated to be rather small
34. TRIP RATES BY TYPE OF JOURNEY
• The Finnish Transport Agency conducted a study
on demand, market and legislation of ride sharing
services in 2013
• The study also involved a survey for ride sharing
users.
• Ride sharing is used most for the long-distance
trips
• Other journey purposes were leisure trips,
travelling to some individual events (such as
festivals) and commuting

35. BUSINESS MODELS FOR RIDE SHARING
PEER TO PEER
• Under current legislation, it is only possible to
share fuel costs relating to a ride share
• No single model for calculating the fuel sharing
costs – depends on the service provider
• Some service providers use mobile apps to
calculate the cost sharing
• Presently operators are not allowed to charge a
fee for a shared drive
CORPORATE
• Currently offered by two players: GreenRiders and
Tziip
• GreenRiders corporate ride sharing is based on the
licence for the ride matching application. Pricing of
the license is based on active usage of the solution
36. PEER TO PEER AND CORPORATE RIDE SHARING

40. POLICY AND REGULATION RELATING TO RIDE SHARING
LEGISLATION
• Regulation related to ride sharing is fragmented into various laws.
• Taxi act (217/2007), Public Transport Act (869/2009), Employment Contracts Act (55/2011), Income Tax Act
(1535/1992), Value Added Tax Act (1501/1993) and Act on the Contractor’s Obligations and Liability when
Work is Contracted Out (1233/2006)
• The current legislation allows ride sharing when only part of the gasoline costs is compensated
by the passenger or if the responsibility for ride sharing is reciprocal between two persons.
• However, all sorts of requested compensation, either monetary or other, needs to be reported to the tax
authority.
• Furthermore, it is not allowed to continuously share a ride for example with a colleague when monetary
compensation is requested.
41. POLICY AND REGULATION RELATING TO RIDE SHARING
LEGISLATION
• The US company Uber has raised discussion in Finland
• The Ministry of Transport and Communications has stated that the provision of Uber rides is legal but the drivers require taxi
licence. (Ministry of Transport and Communications, 2015b)
• The supervision of transportation is a responsibility of the police (2015b). The police are currently conducting an investigation
into whether Uber is in breach of Finnish taxi legislation and driver safety requirements. (Helsingin Sanomat, 2015)
• A 2015 study by Trafi stated that improvements in legislation and taxation are needed
• Many transport types are currently aligned with common sense but prohibited by law.
• The clarification of the status of crowdsourced services* and the prevention of the grey economy require legislative changes.
• The study suggested changing the law to allow non-professional transport and other services in small scale. Payments
between individuals would be tax free up to 2 000 euros per year.
Source: Waris & Paloheimo (2015), Ministry of Transport and Communications (2015b), Helsingin Sanomat (2015)
* According to Waris & Paloheimo (2015), the term crowdsourced transport consists of many types of transport activities, including current taxi traffic, ride sharing and crowdsourced deliveries.

LEGISLATION
• Provisions on taxi services are laid down in the Taxi Act (217/2007)

decree.
• The Act on the professional competence of taxi drivers (695/2009)

needed.

67. NEW FRAMEWORKS TO ENABLE NEW MOBILITY
MODELS
LEGISLATION
• The provision of professional passenger transport services in exchange for a payment is subject to a license.
LVM (Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications) is responsible for preparing legislation related to bus
and coach transport as well as taxis.
• Bus transport is regulated by the national Public Transport Act, PTA (869/2009) and the EU Regulation on public
passenger transport services (1370/2007).
• Provisions on taxi services are laid down in the Taxi Act (217/2007).
• LVM is taking significant action to revise current legislation to support the development of MaaS:
• Regulation on transport markets will be brought together under one act, Transport Code (Liikennekaari).
• The project aims to promote new service models. Further aims are to review the transport system as a whole, ease
market access and promote interoperability of different parts of the transport system.
• The Transport Code project will be carried out in three stages. The goal is that the first stage would enter into force
on 1 January 2017. More information can be found on: www.lvm.fi/liikennekaari
69. POLICY AND REGULATION OF MOBILITY SERVICES
LEGISLATION
• The Public Transport Act and the EU Regulation on public passenger transport services entered
into force at the end of 2009.
• The organisation of transport is gradually adapted to the new act during the ten years transition period of
the Public Transport Act.
• The old licenses for route traffic have been changed into public service contracts for the transition period.
These licenses will gradually expire between 2014 and 2019.
• The extent to which public authorities may intervene in markets to guarantee the quantity and
quality of public transport services is laid down in the EU Regulation on public passenger
transport services.
• Public bus transport can be organized either as a market-based system without public financing or
procured according to the processes regulated by the Public Service Obligation (PSO) regulation of the
European Union (Kauppila, J., 2015).
70. LICENCED TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
LEGISLATION
• Licensed passenger transport by bus or coach is regulated by the Public Transport Act
(869/2009) (PTA). The licence system is built on two licences:
• in all kinds of public transport the basic licence is required. It entitles to operate general government
purchased transport and private charter transport.
• in addition to the basic licence, also another licence is required for market-based transport and market-
based demand-responsive transport.
• Providing demand-responsive public transport services is also subject to a licence and the
applicant must commit in providing services for a minimum of one year.
• The PTA requires minimum five passengers per ride in case of market-based charter transport
with minibuses with capacity of max 16 persons
