DUBLIN, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The “The Minibus Taxi, Bus Services and Metered Taxi Industry in South Africa 2022″ A report has been added  ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This report examines the minibus, coach, and metered taxi industry. This report includes information about the size, state, regulation, and developments of the sector, as well as the effects of disruption. e-hailing Security issues and companies in the bus industry

There are profiles for 57 companies, including bus companies Arrow, Greyhound and Intercape and traditional taxi operators Rose and Eagle, as well as e-hailing service Bolt and Uber.

South Africans are largely dependent on public transport (buses, taxis, and trains) for their transportation. They spend on average 20% of their disposable income, compared with 10% in developing countries.

However, public transport is slow and lacks adequate infrastructure. COVID-19 was a major influence on the sector as people changed how they live and work. Therefore, it is unlikely that passenger travel and revenue will return to pre-pandemic levels.

Subsidies

While trains and buses benefit from subsidies, minibus taxis have lower profit margins and are not subsidised. The pandemic severely affected the taxi industry. It also includes street-hailing and electronic-hailing services. Minibus taxi associations have been calling for subsidies to the sector due to rising fuel costs and vehicle purchases.

Services for bus and coach

Bus fleets are getting older, less reliable and require more maintenance. Many areas are not served by buses even though there is demand. This has led to an increase in taxis taking over the market.

Bus and coach industries have also been the target of ongoing, coordinated and systematic attacks. The first half 2022 saw a 17.8% decrease in sales of new buses compared to 2021. Bus operators have chosen to refurbish or buy reconditioned buses.
