Point-to-point passenger transport
We oversee the regulations for point-to-point services in South Australia.
Point-to-point transport can be provided by:
- taxis
- chauffeurs
- rideshare vehicles.
Services must:
- be provided in a vehicle with 12 seats or fewer (including the driver)
- take customers on the route they choose, at the time that suits them, for a fare.
- Passenger Transport Act
The industry is regulated by the Passenger Transport Act. We are introducing changes that will transition the taxi industry into a modern and fit-for-purpose sector for operators, drivers and passengers.
- Metropolitan taxi licence cancellation payments
From 8 December 2025, we will issue payments to cancel existing metropolitan taxi licences and begin transitioning existing taxi licences to annual taxi licences. Learn more on SA.GOV.AU.
- Driver and operator accreditation
Drivers and operators must be accredited and follow rules for the safety of passengers and the community. Learn more on SA.GOV.AU.
- Access Taxi services
Access Taxis cater for passengers who use a wheelchair, scooter or large (ride-on) mobility aide.
- Taxi fares and charges
Fees and fares vary depending on the service and the time of travel. Learn more on SA.GOV.AU.
- Vehicle safety standards
All vehicles used for point-to-point passenger transport services must meet safety standards. Learn more on SA.GOV.AU.
- Booking services
Point-to-point services must be booked through a centralised booking service or booking office attached to a chauffeur service. Booking services are accredited to ensure high-quality customer service and safety standards. Learn more on SA.GOV.AU.
