Fare Monitoring Report

As part of our work as a safety regulator, we monitor fare and market trends in the commercial passenger vehicle industry.

As we build and grow our data set, we will be able to identify and analyse trends within the market, enhancing the information available to consumers and government about the economic performance of the industry.

Fare Monitoring Report 2021-22 (PDF)

For 2021-22, we reported aggregate fares rather than reporting by geographic zones. The breakdown of average fares by geographic regions is a relic of past reporting practices dating back to a time when booked fares were regulated. As booked fares are unregulated across Victoria, it is no longer relevant to analyse average fares by geographic region.

In 2022, we made changes to how we collect data and categorise zones. This changed the way average Country and Regional fares are reported. To allow for comparison with average fares in previous years, the figures for Country and Regional fares in the 2020-21 financial year are provided below.

The Accessibility Action Plan

On 1 July 2022, Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (CPVV) and Transport Safety Victoria merged to become Safe Transport Victoria.

Below is the CPVV Accessibility Action Plan 2021-2025, the first ‘disability action plan’ developed by the Victorian Government’s taxi, hire car and rideshare vehicle regulator. This was created as CPVV.

Despite our change in name, the Accessibility Action Plan 2021-2025 remains the same, and demonstrates our commitment to access and inclusion for people with disability or accessibility needs following action on the outcomes in the CPVV State of the Industry Accessibility Report
and our overarching obligations in the Department of Transport and Planning’s Accessible Public Transport in Victoria Action Plan and the Victorian Government’s State Disability Plan.

Safe Transport Victoria is committed to working with the Department of Transport and Planning in its whole-of-journey approach for people with disability or accessibility needs to stay connected and provide increased community, social and economic participation by all.
