Reduced activity but stable turnover

Taxi activity as measured by number of trips, kilometres driven with passengers, and hours in operation declined in the second quarter relative to the same quarter a year earlier. Turnover, on the other hand, remained fairly stable.

Despite a 6 per cent decline in the number of trips, the industry earned revenues of NOK 1 944 million during the 2n d quarter this year, which is 1 per cent higher than the same period last year. Consequently, turnover per trip grew by 8 per cent, which means that the industry earned more on average per trip compared to the same quarter last year.

Taxi statistics. Turnover and number of trips per quarter

Reduced activity

The industry covered a total of 144 million kilometres during the second quarter of 2010, which is 13 per cent less than the same quarter the previous year. Out of this, 85 million kilometres were driven with passengers on board. Number of hours offered, on the other hand, increased by 3 per cent, while hours occupied declined by 8 per cent during the same period.

Capacity utilisation also declined in line with the decline in hours in operation and kilometres driven with passengers. Capacity utilisation measured as a share of kilometres driven with passengers to total kilometres driven was 59 per cent. Capacity utilisation measured as a share of taxi hours on offer, on the other hand, was 40 per cent. In other words, an average taxi is occupied for 59 per cent of the distance covered or 40 per cent of the time it is in operation.

The taxi statistics are based on a nationwide survey carried out quarterly on the taxi business classified by code 49.320, Taxi Operation in SIC07. The survey covers over 90 per cent of the taxi population in the country. The data is then scaled up to population size using a factor based on data from the survey and VAT data reported to the Directorate of Taxes.
