Figure 1. Taxi transport. Turnover and number of trips

The industry had a total turnover of NOK 8.8 billion in 2013; a 3.6 per cent increase from 2012, despite low transport activity. The increase in turnover is mainly attributable to the increment in taxi fares during the period. Data published by the Norwegian Taxi Owners Organisation shows that taxi fares increased by 3.5 per cent between 2012 and 2013.

The taxi industry covered a total distance of 587 million kilometres in 2013; a 1.7 per cent increase from 2012. 54.4 per cent of the total mileage was covered with passengers in the car.

Marginal increase in taxi trips

A total of 33.6 million trips were carried out during 2013; a 0.4 per cent increase from 2012. This amounted to 6.6 taxi trips per inhabitant. The average trip for the period was 9.5 kilometres long and took 21.3 minutes to complete.

The industry’s performance in terms of transport activity was weaker during the 4th quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter in 2012. Meanwhile, turnover remained buoyant, with an increase of 1.8 per cent during the same period.
