Comparison of taxi services in selected metropolises
Páchová, Markéta ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Gráf, Václav (referee)
This thesis is focused on different government approaches to taxi market. It discusses necessity of regulations in this branch. The core part of this thesis is empirical analysis of taxi markets in London, Dublin, Paris, Stockholm, New York and Prague. To study the subject more complex I also examined PHV (private hire vehicle) market which provides almost the same kind of services but it is not regulated. These markets are compared in term of supply -- number of cars per capita and price, and also in term of demand -- utilization of cars and customers content. According to this comparison I tried to find out if any of these approches can be considered as optimal, and wheather if regulated or deregulated markets bring better results. This thesis also discusses the best way how to deregulate entry into the taxi market. This will be illustrated by case study of entry deregulation in Dublin. I also provide some recommendation for taxi market in Prague.
(De)regulation of the taxiservice
Páchová, Markéta ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis is focused on taxi service, which is one of the most regulated services in a modern society. State intervenes into this branch not only by barriers of entry but also by price regulation. I try to take a think if the state intervention is the best solution for its effective function. As the theoretical ground of my investigation I used the general theories of regulation and findings of foreign studies that deal with this market. As the specific example I used the market of taxi service in Prague, which has not been enjoying a good reputation. I try to map its situation and judge the regulation imposed on it. I target the price regulation which has been established since 1991. I sketch the main impacts of price deregulation and the other solution of contemporary situation.
