Answer 1

I am guessing here but you must be talking a very over populated city like LA or NY. The area where I live only the poor who can not afford a car or maybe someone who has had a DWI court ruling use a Taxi service.

But you are looking at this with the wrong frame of mind. It is more based on the part of town and type of people in the area of service.

If your service area is like New Orleans where down town is full like when there are major events you will be moving people from the outside of town to downtown to the football stadium or to Bourbon Street. You will make more money because it takes more time and the trip will take more time.

Tourism would cover Hotels and travel agencies and maybe some dinning, which will be weak on profit if there are no large events going on.

Individual would be less stable because this would only be taking someone to the doctor or maybe someone to the store from time to time. Not a heavy usage of service.

Business would be the more solid income. They will be using the taxi monday - friday to go to work and home and and to take clients out to lunch and dinner.

Airport serivce would need to be its own profict center. It covers business travel and tourism. It would be too hard to split this up.

Grab this mind set. For the city you are servicing check with the city council and find info for tourism such as how much money do they spend in reantal cars. Or what is the largest actavites. Setup an excel spread sheet with all this info. If 90% of business and tourism usage is rental cars you might not have a very large market. This would be more like in my area.

There is too much to go over here.

But first find the stats for how people are getting from place to place and how many are there. What can you do the job for and will people in the service area be able to afford it and will it be lower cost then 2 business people using the same rental car.

If it is going to cost them 50 bucks a day to ride a taxi and it is a town like Little Rock Arkansas the cost would be lower to rent a car for 30 bucks a day. New York would be something else. It is harder to drive and not knowing their way around people will use a taxi even if it cost a little more beause of parking fees and slow trafic and not knowing their way around town.

Get your numbers. Howmuch will the taxi cab cost you. What is the price of gas and how many miles per gallon do you get. Are you planing to have limos or just a 65 chevy to move people with? Classie cars will cost you $50,000 to $200,000 for each one. Plus your cab driver will rip you off if you do not put a meter in the car and keep track of milage.
