Report Coverage

This report focuses on the minibus taxi, bus and coach and metered taxi services industry. It includes information on the size and state of the sector, regulations and developments, including the effects of disruption by e-hailing companies and security issues in the bus sector. There are profiles of 57 companies including bus companies such as Arrow, Greyhound and Intercape, traditional taxi operators such as Rose and Eagle and e-hailing services Bolt and Uber.

The Minibus Taxi, Bus Services and Metered Taxi Industry in South Africa

The vast majority of South Africans are totally dependent on public transport (bus, taxi and rail) for transportation, spending on average 20% of their disposable income on public transport compared to a 10% average in developing countries. However, public transport is inefficient and there is a lack of adequate infrastructure. COVID-19 had a significant effect on the industry as people changed the way they live and work, and the probability of the industry returning to pre-pandemic levels in terms of passenger trips and revenue is unlikely.

Subsidies

Buses and trains benefit from government subsidies, but minibus taxis are unsubsidised and have low profit margins. The taxi industry, including street-hailing and e-hailing services, was severely affected by the pandemic and continues to struggle to recover to sustainable levels. Rising fuel and vehicle purchase and operating costs have amplified calls by minibus taxi associations for government to subsidise the sector.

Bus and coach services

The bus fleet is ageing, becoming less reliable and requiring increasing maintenance. Lack of adequate funding has resulted in many areas not being served by buses, even where demand exists, leading to a market that becomes ‘captured’ by the taxi industry. The bus and coach industry has also been subjected to ongoing, systematic and co-ordinated attacks. Sales of new buses decreased by 17.8% in the first half of 2022 in comparison with 2021, as bus operators have opted to either refurbish vehicles or purchase reconditioned units.

Report Coverage

This report focuses on South Africa’s minibus taxi, metered taxi, and bus and coach services industry, which plays a vital role in the economic and social development of the country. It includes information on the state of the sector, recent developments and corporate actions. There is information on regulations and other government initiatives including the taxi recapitalisation programme. This report includes profiles of 50 companies including bus companies such as Putco and Intercape, taxi companies such as Rose and Sandton Taxi Cabs and international company Uber.

The Minibus Taxi, Bus Services and Metered Taxi Industry in South Africa

The vast majority of South Africans are totally dependent on public transport (bus, taxi and rail) for transport and South Africans spend over 20% of disposable income on public transport compared to a 10% average in developing countries. While the taxi industry provides significant opportunities for empowerment and provides jobs, it is unregulated and characterised by poor driver working conditions and inadequate driver training.

Minibus Taxi Sector

The sector continues to face challenges, which include labour relations, allegations of exploitation of workers, compliance with tax laws, and taxi violence. However, demand for minibus taxi transport continues to grow as commuters find them more widely available, reaching places that buses and trains do not. Government wants to formalise the industry, which transports 16.5 million passengers a day, to bring it into the tax net.

E-hailing

Car sales in South Africa declined by 29.1% in 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Increasing fuel and maintenance costs and low rates offered by e-hailing companies have made it cheaper for many commuters to use e-hailing rather than their own cars. E-hailing companies were hard hit by the lockdown and have been offering discounts to attract more passengers. This has caused tension between drivers and the companies, as the drivers say this affects their income.

Report Coverage

This report includes comprehensive information on the public and private metered taxi, minibus taxi and bus and coach services industry including the state of these services, pending regulation and the effect of e-hailing services on the sector. There are profiles of 53 companies including bus services such as Putco, Duzi and Algoa, e-hailing services such as Uber, Bolt and new player Chaufher and large players such as Unitrans.

The Minibus Taxi, Bus Services & Metered Taxi Industry

South Africa’s metered taxi, minibus taxi and bus and coach services industry is essential for the growth of the South African economy. Minibus taxis remain the most popular choice of transport for about 69% of South Africa’s commuters, generating an estimated R50bn in fares annually. Buses and metered taxis continue to lose ground to e-hailing services. The Bus Rapid Transit system has been a failure, with high capital expenses and subsidies and low ridership undermining the plan to provide fast, affordable public transport.

Taxi Growth

Despite taxi violence and strikes, and fare increases due to higher fuel prices and higher vehicle prices, the demand for minibus taxi transport continues to grow. Taxis are used by about 69% of households compared to 59% fifteen years ago. The high price of owning a car and increasing fuel and maintenance costs has made it cheaper for many commuters to use taxis and e-hailing services rather than buy a car. Uber continues to dominate the e-hailing subsector with more than 13,000 drivers and more than one million riders, although Bolt now covers twice the number of areas in South Africa than Uber. The metered taxi sector has been struggling to survive since the launch of e-hailing apps and continues to call for regulation to protect metered taxi services. Some metered taxi organisations have launched their own apps to remain competitive.

Report coverage

The detailed report on South Africa’s metered taxi, minibus taxi and bus and coach services industry discusses current conditions, new developments, challenges faced and factors influencing the success of the sector. The report profiles 44 players in the bus and coach sector, including national companies Translux / City-to-City and Intercity Xpress, which also operates a Zimbabwe route. Profiles for 12 players in the metered taxi and e-hailing taxi sector are also provided and include Zebra Cabs which was acquired by taxi finance company, SA Taxi in 2015 with a view to expanding the business and competing against Uber.

The Minibus Taxi, Bus Services & Metered Taxi Industry

The commuter transport industry is integral to the existence, survival and growth of the South African economy as it transports people to and from work. The focus of this report is the land transport sector which includes buses, coaches, minibus taxis and metered taxis. It is a sector that is beset by problems that include unreliable services, vandalism, taxi violence and strikes. According to the Southern African Bus Operators' Association (SABOA), public bus transport has suffered major underinvestment which has driven down the quality and effectiveness of services. Meanwhile the bus rapid transit (BRT) system which has been the recipient of billions of Rands, is underused and the R15bn Gauteng BRT has been described as a failure.

Continuing importance of the minibus taxi sector

Although informal and largely unregulated, minibus taxis remain the most readily available and affordable mode of transport for the majority of South Africa's commuters. They are the primary travel mode for 69% of households and generate an estimated R120bn in fares annually. According to the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO), the taxi industry employs more than 600,000 people and transports 15 million commuters daily. There are more than 200,000 minibus taxis on the road and the average taxi travels 6,500 kilometres per month. Despite its importance, the industry remains privately-run and financed with no state support but has to compete with bus and train services that enjoy state subsidies.

Report Coverage

The detailed report on the Minibus Taxi and Bus Services Industry discusses current conditions, new developments, challenges faced and factors influencing the success of both sectors. The report profiles 41 companies in the bus and coach sector, including PUTCO (Pty) Ltd which has a fleet of 1,800 buses, and Golden Arrow Bus Services (Pty) Ltd, which is the official Vehicle Operating Company for the City of Cape Town’s MyCiTi BRT service.

The Minibus Taxi and Bus Services Industry

Statistics indicate that between 70% and 80 % of South Africa’s population is totally dependent on public transport for its mobility needs and the most popular choice, the minibus taxi, has an annual turnover of between R60bn and R90bn. Taxi association SANTACO estimates that within this informal, unregulated sector there are 150,000 minibus taxi owners, 300,000 drivers, 100,000 rank marshals, 100,000 car washers and 150,000 informal traders at taxi ranks. In the bus services industry 19,000 buses provide 912 million passenger trips per annum while travelling an estimated 1.4 billion kilometres. This section of the industry provides direct employment to about 34,200 people throughout the country.

A Changing Sector

By 2050 eight out of ten people in South Africa will live in an urban area and in order to meet the mobility demands of this rapidly increasing urban population, the Minister of Transport emphasises the need to promote and implement integrated public transport systems especially through road-based transport services. The Department of Transport’s Public Transport Turnaround Plan promotes the incorporation of SMMEs into the formal public transport system and aims to bring together the currently competing public transport modes to form an integrated sustainable system that will provide the commuter with a seamless travel experience. Advances in technology and ‘Big Data’ in particular are expected to positively impact the sector and improve transport operations, easing the transit flows for millions of daily commuters. In the minibus taxi sub-sector SANTACO will introduce a new cashless smart card payment system known as FairPay to the Johannesburg, Pretoria and Mabopane routes in 2017. This initiative forms part of SANTACO’s TR3 2020 Strategy which aims to redefine, restructure and reposition the taxi industry through the implementation of initiatives to create a professional, integrated and service-orientated public transport system.

Report Coverage

The Metered Taxi Industry report discusses current conditions, the challenges faced by the metered taxi sector as well as the developments and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report profiles 13 companies including Sandton Taxi Cabs (Pty) Ltd t/a Johannesburg Shuttle Services, which offers chauffeur driven car hire services, mini-hire services and share shuttle services, and OR Tambo Airport Civilized Cab (Pty) Ltd, which was awarded the tender for metered taxi services at South Africa’s busiest international airport.

The Metered Taxi Industry

This report focuses on the South African metered taxi industry, a sector that complements other route-based bus, minibus taxi and commuter rail services. Statistics SA’s research reflects that the taxi industry as a whole accounts for approximately 70% of South Africa’s public transport usage. However, industry analysts estimate that 90% of South African taxis are minibus taxis and only 10% are metered taxis. As there is no readily available reliable data it is difficult to provide relevant statistics for the industry but a finance company estimates that there are approximately 20,000 metered taxis on the road.

A Changing Sector

Apart from the negative impact of the current economic climate on demand for services, metered taxi operators have had to cope with the disruptive effect of the smartphone-based e-hailing technology introduced by Uber Technologies. Stakeholders assert that the Uber concept is revolutionising the industry, changing the way people think about transportation. Traditional metered taxi operators see Uber as engaging in unfair competitive practices by operating illegally without permits and charging below-cost rates. Also of concern is the growing number of other services that are in direct competition to some of the traditional 24-hour services offered by the metered taxi industry.

Legislative Changes

The National Land Transport Amendment Bill of 2015 is expected to transform and restructure the national land transport system. The bill includes provisions for e-hailing transport services and in terms of the legislation, drivers who use Uber as a technology partner will require taxi operating licences and will be subject to regulation by authorities in line with other metered taxi operations.
