 SPUR - Report - Making Taxi Service Work in San Francisco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Taxi use largely is a function of urban form, particularly density which also is the major determinant of rates of vehicle ownership and transit use.
The extent to which availability problems are caused by too few licensed taxis is difficult to say, in the absence of incentives for firms to maximize the efficiency of their fleet and improve distribution.
Sharing fare revenue between the firm and the driver (the split meter) is SPUR’s primary recommendation to give firms a direct financial incentive to carry more passengers, an incentive which is currently absent.
