Taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs) provide an important transport service to the public. The majority of the UK population are users, with 60% of people travelling by taxi/PHV at least once a year, and we make, on average, 12 trips per person per year (source: Department for Transport). The taxi and PHV services market in the UK generates over £2.2bn of revenues annually (source: National Statistics).
Benefits of M2M in the Taxi and PHV industry:
- Improved customer service - Faster response times through drivers being allocated jobs close to their actual position, ability to update customers on the location of the vehicle allocated to their job
- Increased efficiency - Reduction in fuel costs due to shorter journeys to jobs
- Higher revenues - Drivers can complete more jobs due to less time spent travelling to jobs
- Scalability - Automated job allocation enables larger fleets to be efficiently managed
