How many pairs of customers do you think a cab driver in Tokyo carries on average per day?
I picked up 42 groups of customers between 5:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. last Sunday and 31 groups of customers last Tuesday. These numbers vary depending on the location, hours of operation, and mileage, and we must also take into account that not all taxi users specify the same distance to their destinations.
Our taxi company averages about 29 pairs of customers per day.
Recently, more and more reservations are being made through the taxi dispatched apps. In Tokyo Metropolitan area, TAXI GO is the most popular taxi booking app, and our company has introduced it.
Taxi GO charges a pick-up fee of 420 yen(about US$ 2.70), but will pick you up at the desired location at the desired time. We pick you up in about 5 minutes after you make your reservation. But in the downtown area and the CBD, it is better to get a cab on the street instead of using a taxi booking app.
