Overview
The Minister for Public Transport asked us to conduct a review and recommend a 'fixed fare per head' pricing structure for a proposed late-night, share-ride taxi pilot program.
The objective of the late-night, share-ride taxi pilot service is to both grow the 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.
Our Share-Ride Taxi Final Report 2013 outlines our findings from this review.
In the six weeks provided for the review, we developed our recommendations and report, and also undertook a public consultation process. We released an issues paper, invited public submissions and met with several key stakeholders.
