Drivers decrease drastically in the passenger transport industry. The number of economic activities in this market for the first time has fallen below the threshold of 50,000. – emphasizes Tuesday's “Rzeczpospolita”.
The diary pointed out that the taxi market in Poland loses drivers massively. “The latest data, collected for the” Rzeczpospolita “by the economic intelligence room Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), leave no doubt – there was no bad in this industry yet. Taxi drivers close their activities, and this is a segment where the one -person ones dominate,” reads.
The newspaper emphasized that in the last six months on the Vistula 628 new taxi activities were registered, and at that time over 1.6 thousand were removed from the register. “This means that about a thousand taxis could disappear from Polish streets,” it was noted.

According to Rz “, hard data show that on average five taxi drivers disappear from our streets. “Statistics are alarming – in the last ten years the market has shrunk by 10 percent, and compared to 2009. The decrease reaches 30 percent.” – we read.
The daily emphasizes that the industry sees the remedy in autonomous vehicles. “Cars without drivers are not science fiction, because they are already running around the streets of cities in China or the USA. This concept in Europe wants to develop Lyft, which a few months ago for 175 million euros took over from the BMW Group and Mercedes-Benz Mobility Freen Platform. Thanks to this acquisition, the American tycoon entered new markets in Europe, including “Rz”.
He adds that Lyft in this field has established cooperation with the Chinese technology group Baidu (Apollo Go project). “He hopes that the so-called Robo-Taxi vehicles on the Old Continent will debut next year-Great Britain and Germany are to go to the first fire. In the following years the fleet is to be expanded to thousands of vehicles throughout Europe,” reads the journal. (PAP)
