Abstract

Taxi service is a pivotal instrument in public transport and its dominance is highly felt in providing door to door service in place and time utility. It is in respect of this importance that this study examined the socio-economic characteristics influence on taxis services patronage in Lagos State. 304 completed questionnaires were used in seeking information from the passengers on their socio-economic characteristics and variation in patronage using multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used in describing socio-economic characteristics while inferential statistical tools of multiple regression analysis were used to determine the influence of socio-economic characteristics on patronage. It was observed from the findings that there is a strong correlation between the passenger patronage of the Taxi companies and socio-economic characteristics of age (Age), gender (Gen), income (Inc), occupation (Occ) and education (Edu) with R = 0.986) in Uber, R = 0.983 in Oga Taxi and R = 0.974 in Bolt Taxi. Hence, it is recommended that strict rules and regulations guiding routine operation and service delivery to the populace must be adhere to, recruitment and selection of drivers be considered on merit with high level of scrutiny.

尼日利亚拉各斯州的社会经济特征和出租车服务惠顾

出租车服务是公共交通的关键工具，在提供门到门服务的地点和时间效用方面具有很强的优势。正是考虑到这一重要性，本研究检查了社会经济特征对拉各斯州出租车服务惠顾的影响。使用多阶段抽样技术，304份完成的问卷用于从乘客那里寻求有关其社会经济特征和惠顾变化的信息。描述性统计用于描述社会经济特征，而多元回归分析的推理统计工具用于确定社会经济特征对赞助的影响。从研究结果可以看出，出租车公司的乘客乘坐与年龄(age)、性别(Gen)、收入(Inc)、职业(Occ)、教育程度(Edu)等社会经济特征之间存在很强的相关性，其中Uber的R = 0.986, Oga的R = 0.983, Bolt的R = 0.974。因此，建议必须遵守指导日常操作和向民众提供服务的严格规章制度，对司机的招聘和选择应严格审查。
