Are we lazy?
« on: February 06, 2018, 04:12:43 am »
Comparing the Taxi Cost Index for 2014 and 2016 and utilising an annual mileage of 32,624km,
based on CSO data, the increase in the index is 3.2%. It should be noted that an annual mileage
level of 49,000km, which is the average activity level reported in the taxi driver surveys, then a
decrease of 2% in the index would apply. However, it is considered that the CSO annual mileage
figure, derived from NCT data, is more accurate.


https://www.nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2017_National_Maximum_Taxi_Fare_Review_Report.pdf        (Page 3)

Not a lot of mileage per week , roughly 600km or 360 miles a week which sort of works out at a grand a week average.

Is that how revenue work out the revenue stats, NCT and CSO stats multiplied by Maximum Fares?

We don't get paid for every mile we drive.

Revenue are good at extrapolation but it's not an exact science. Some drivers use ranks, others don't, etc...

Some drivers close their garden gate and pick up a fare others have to drive 50 mile to start work
