REDUCED EMISSIONS
Our sophisticated dispatch system reduces emissions by ensuring that cars are not dragged unnecessary distances to make a pick-up and you an rest assured that when you order your taxi only the closest available vehicle is dispatched to you.
We are now actively replacing our less efficient vehicles with either hybrid or electric, to date 43% of the fleet are now replaced. Owner drivers are also encouraged to follow suit with reduced rate incentives.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Courtesty Taxis drivers are encouraged to undertake Fuel Good driver training which teaches methods by which drivers can save up to 15% of fuel annually.
