Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion
Mr. David McGuinness:
On the shortage of taxis for the four hours a week, I will give the Acting Chairman some of the figures from the NTA fare review for 2022. Dublin has 7.4% taxis per 1,000 people. Brussels has 1.9% for 1,000 people. Oslo has 0.6% per 1,000 people. People are calling it a shortage of taxis but I do not think anybody in this room will say there is one. There is no other public transport. The Luas is gone, the DART is gone and buses are gone.
