Atia Information

The ATIA continues to promote the public benefits delivered by well regulated, personalised transport markets. In the case of taxi services, prudent regulation of markets has been shown by empirical research to consistently outperform under-regulation on the important metrics of safety, pricing and service. The ATIA contends that Governments should maintain regulatory interventions that are appropriate, effective and efficient. Governments have a responsibility to avoid regulatory distortion and ensure their interventions do not intentionally, or unintentionally, operate to the advantage of one competitor (or their particular business model) and the disadvantage of others. The ATIA accordingly advocates for a level playing field where the "same market access rules" apply to all providers of the "same service" in a market.
