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.
