Entry Requirements
To become a taxi driver you need to have held a Class 1 licence for at least two years and have a passenger (P) endorsement, which includes police clearance.
Pay
Pay for taxi drivers varies, and depends on whether they own their own vehicle, the number of hours they drive, and the taxi company they work for.
Job Outlook
Opportunities for taxi drivers are poor, as there is an oversupply of people in the role, and demand for taxi services has declined.
