NATIONAL TAXICAB MARKET IN NON-METROPOLITAN CITIES

There is practically no systematic knowledge of the functional structure of the national taxicab industry in small metropolitan areas, cities with a population of less than 265,000. Using a questionnaire as the basis for this article, the authors examine various dimensions of the taxicab industry in small metropolitan cities. This research documents various facts and test certain hypotheses based on neoclassical economic theory. Results of this study contribute to establishing a rational policy, whereby taxicab service is a complementary and integral part of an efficient urban transport system.
