Supply of taxi services
These statistics provide information on the supply of taxi services and their development in Finland. The statistics are based on the register data of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom and the public data of the Employment and Economic Development Office. Supply is examined based on taxi transport licences, taxi vehicles and taxi driving licences, among other factors. The statistics are updated once a year. Exceptional updating cycles have been marked separately. The information is produced by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom.
About the interpretation of taxi licence register data
While examining the statistics, one should keep in mind that the domicile of a taxi vehicle, company or driver, as registered in the licence register, may not necessarily reflect their operating area. For example, a taxi vehicle may have Uusimaa registered as its domicile in the register despite actually operating in some other region.
