Overview
The Minister for Public Transport asked us to conduct a review and provide a report on a 'fixed fare per head' pricing structure for a proposed late-night, share-ride taxi pilot program in Geelong.
The objective of the pilot service was to both grow the Geelong taxi market and to maximise taxi occupancy by providing an incentive for passengers to share a high occupancy taxi with others travelling in the same general direction. The scheme was to operate from the Safe Rank on Moorabool Street Geelong on Sunday mornings from 1 am to 6 am.
In the nine weeks provided for the review, we developed our recommendations and report, and undertook a public consultation process. We also released an issues paper and invited public submissions.
Our Geelong Share-Ride Taxi Final Report outlines our findings from this review.
