Taxi
New South Wales is served by a fleet of around 6000 taxis with over 22,000 taxi drivers. The network is the largest in Australia. Most taxis are Ford Falcons, with a smaller number of Holden Commodores, Ford Fairlanes, Holden Statesmen/Caprice, Toyota Camrys, Toyota Taragos, Volkswagen Vans, Chrysler Voyagers, Mercedes Vans, and Toyota Hiaces. In general, taxis run on liquid petroleum gas. Many taxis are owned by small-scale operators who pay membership fees to regional or citywide radio communication networks. These networks provide branding and telephone and internet booking services.
