A confidential telephone survey of SPSV drivers nationwide and an online survey of consumers was carried out in September/October 2020. These surveys aimed to establish how services have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and covered areas such as demand, operational expenses and insurance, together with other topical items for the industry. The following findings were obtained.

Personally, I think they'll start licencing saloon licences again...
- 60% of drivers over 60yr
- 17% of fleet = WAV
- 23% of drivers intend to quit/retire in the next 3 years, rising to 60% of those over 65 and higher outside Dublin and in smaller towns/rural areas. (caution: small base)
- Earnings down 61%
- 71% of Dublin drivers affiliated with an app provider
- Misc other items I didn't mention.

But still want licence holders to commit to or eventually pushed into purchasing electric cars even though their own survey shows just how shite it is!!

The aim is autonomous electric vehicles owned by one company with deep pockets.
