IPART uses Taxi Cost Indices (TCIs) to estimate how much the cost of providing taxi services has changed since our last review. In 2012 we are reviewing the cost items and weightings included in the TCIs. To help us in this task we asked the Centre for International Economics (CIE) to provide advice on the current costs of providing taxi services.
The CIE surveyed NSW taxi drivers and operators and provided a final report on reweighting the TCIs in March 2012. This is the survey data underlying the recommendations in that report. Where necessary, the data file has been aggregated so that individual drivers and operators cannot be identified from their survey responses. A copy of each survey questionnaire is included in CIE’s final report.
