DRIVE NOW (previously DRIVE A2B) Magazine, the new Voice of the Australian Commercial Passenger Transport Industry. In September 2018, DRIVE NOW printed its first issue, and since has featured information on the Australian taxi industry for every State and Territory in Australia. Tasmania As at 19 February 2009, there are 448 perpetual, 8 owner-operator and 45 wheelchair accessible taxi licenses on issue in Tasmania. The industry employs over 1,000 taxi drivers: some owner-drivers and most drivers on a bailiff agreement commission basis. There are 3 main providers in Hobart – 131008 Hobart, Taxi Combined and Yellow Cabs. 131008 Hobart alone service over 50% of Hobart's immediate population. The remainder of the industry consists of smaller fleet operators with several licenses each and the rest are owner-operators. The location of taxi ranks in the southern district are around the main CBD area, with many others in suburbs close to Hobart. The Tasmanian Taxi Association began publishing a quarterly industry newsletter "TTA Taxi Talk" in December 2008. In October 2008 Yellow Cabs began operating their first Toyota Prius, becoming Tasmania's first taxi company to run hybrid vehicles.
