  4. Taxi…as diversion • Total Recall by Paul Verhoeven • Taxi Driver with De Niro • Taxi TV-series with DeVito • Cash Cab, QuizTaxi, Hep Taxi, interview platforms, shows • Unlimited taxi formats, versatility and recognizable style

  5. Taxi as a system = the missing link • Johnny Cab or… Taxi is a system; more than a vehicle and a driver • Its USP: transport and additional services • A system beyond (occasional) street-hail • Not limited by vehicle size or passenger numbers • Enhanced not limited by regulation

  6. Examples… • Public transport: financial and service cuts • Large parts of the world: taxi backbone of public transport • Industrialised world: capillaries of these services, low density • Merging transport and financing streams • Seamless business travel: taxi in booking systems

  7. Starting point • Recognition, regulation and integration as public transport • Cooperation, coordination, economies of scale, sustainability • Forge international links, exchange information • Taxi, anytime, anywhere = the taxi AND the system
