La disciplina del trasporto pubblico non di linea alla luce della sentenza n. 56/2020 della Corte costituzionale

Recent studies on non-scheduled modes of public transport have focused primarily on market access by non-professional operators (e.g. UberPop). The changes to l. 21/1992, introduced by l.d. 135/2018, as amended from l .12/2019, as well as the Constitutional Court’s ruling n. 56 of 2020, suggest a re-focus on the activity of traditional operators in the sector (i.e. taxi and car rental with driver, known as NCC). The 2019 reform, which follows the underlying approach of the framework law (l. 21/1992), primarily sought to strengthen the “territoriality” of the NCC’s service and its separation with that of taxis. To that end, despite the censorships of some legal arrangements around this choice which were considered unreasonable and disproportionate, it was nonetheless substantially endorsed by the Constitutional Court. It remains, therefore, an important matter deserving of further reflection
