The Birth of the Taxi Industry

In the 1970 during a dynamic time in South African politics the taxi industry was born. Blacks from rural areas due to industrialisation came to seek greener pastures in the city of gold. The industry was born because of the demand of transport to accommodate the urban growing work force. The land Act of 1913 enforced by the apartheid regime, is the reason why taxi’s exist today as a mode of public transport. The birth of this industry provided jobs and business opportunities for the urban poor.

The dynamic industry up to date provides the most available, affordable and consistent services to the majority of commuters in South Africa. Statistics shows that 14 million commuter’s uses taxi's as means of transport each day. Taxis have been in the transport industry for many years, today 83% out of 100% transport service is provided by the minibus (taxi).


If systems or organisations do not adapt they perish, meaning if the taxi industry do not move with times in terms of digitisation, cleanliness and safety at their work place, as a minibus industry they will reach extinction. Let us not duplicate other countries but preserve the culture of our taxi industry.
