A taxi service is a demand responsive passenger transport service in a vehicle of no more than 11 seats (excluding the driver). A taxi service licence authorises the holder to provide a taxi service in a specific area subject to certain conditions. A taxi service licence may be leased, sold or otherwise transferred, but only to an appropriately accredited operator. A taxi service can be hailed by members of the public and may stand for hire in dedicated taxi ranks. In 20 taxi service areas in Queensland, legislation prescribes that taxis must have access to a continuously operating dispatch service for the purpose of receiving bookings. This dataset shows these 20 contracted areas in Queensland.
