Question

Traditionally, in many regional and municipal jurisdictions, ride-for-hire (taxi) companies have been strictly controlled and limited in number through requiring a license to operate and capping the number of licenses available. Taxi fares have also been regulated. Use an appropriate model to assess the impact on the value of taxi licenses of new ride-for-hire companies who use mobile apps to connect drivers and riders (uber, lyft etc.) without seeking any official taxi status.

Answer 1

From driver earnings, to community spending, to increased mobility options, riders and drivers who use taxi are having a substantial impact on the economy. The state's remaining taxi licenses are privately owned and pay an annual fee of $500 for the right. Those licenses are extremely valuable. That's right, a taxi licenses is more expensive than a house. The value is supported by scarcity as government resists letting license supply exceed taxi customer demand.

A taxi is likely to also be the better option when demand is high. That's because during such times, Uber and rival services such as Lyft rely on surge pricing to boost fares by up to four times the price. Uber charges a minimum fare of $8 for simply getting into the car, compared with $2.50 for New York's yellow cabs.
