Personalised transport services

The personalised transport industry, including taxis, limousines and ride-booking services (known as booked hire services), plays an essential role in the wider passenger transport system by providing personalised, door-to-door services.

The Queensland Government introduced a legislative framework in 2017 and continues to monitor, review and evaluate this framework.

Taxi, limousine and ride-booking businesses must comply with the personalised transport legislation, industry standards, guidelines and requirements that have been developed in Queensland.

Personalised transport industry regulations

As part of the Queensland Government's personalised transport reforms, changes to legislation have:

• strengthened safety standards
• clarified industry obligations
• given passengers greater choice and flexibility
