The KRV proposes the creation of a new taxi network in Jamaica, featuring a fleet of 1,500 hybrid taxis made by Toyota. This network will offer several benefits to both customers and taxi drivers, including improved safety, comfort, and professionalism. In addition to these features, The KRV will incorporate several other programs and incentives, including an ad revenue sharing plan, a retirement savings plan, and a health and wellness program for drivers. Current Taxi Drivers will trade in their old cars for these new Taxis.

Professionalism and Safety

All taxis in the new network will be required to adhere to a set of professional standards, including a uniform dress code and a pledge to provide safe and courteous service. In addition, we will incorporate several safety features into the vehicles, such as GPS tracking, dash cams, and automatic speed limiters. This will help to deter reckless driving and improve safety for both passengers and drivers.

Ad Revenue Sharing

The new taxi network will include a digital ad network that uses geotargeting to display relevant ads on the exterior of the taxis. The ad revenue will be shared between the taxi operators and the network, with a portion going towards the maintenance offset program, retirement savings plan, and other driver incentives. The ad network will also promote local businesses and attractions, helping to drive tourism and support the local economy.

Fleet and Maintenance

The Toyota hybrid taxis are designed specifically for the Japanese market but will be modified for Jamaican roads and conditions. The standardized design of the vehicles will allow for more efficient maintenance and repairs, with a goal of minimizing downtime and reducing costs for drivers. We will also establish a maintenance offset program that will use a portion of the ad revenue to cover the cost of regular maintenance and repairs, further reducing the burden on taxi drivers.

Retirement Savings Plan

Many taxi drivers in Jamaica do not have access to retirement savings plans, so The KRV will establish a plan that allows drivers to contribute a portion of their earnings towards a retirement fund. The plan will be managed by a third-party financial institution, and contributions will be matched by the ad revenue sharing program.

Health and Wellness Program

To support the health and well-being of taxi drivers, The KRV will offer several programs and incentives. These will include gym memberships, exercise equipment, and fitness classes, as well as discounts on healthy food options. The health and wellness program will be integrated with the retirement savings plan, offering additional incentives for drivers who maintain good health habits.

Conclusion

The new taxi network in Jamaica will offer a range of benefits to both customers and drivers, including improved safety, comfort, and professionalism. By incorporating features such as an ad revenue sharing plan, retirement savings plan, and health and wellness program, we can help to create a thriving and sustainable taxi industry that benefits everyone involved. By prioritizing the needs and well-being of taxi drivers, we can ensure that customers receive the best possible service, and that Jamaica continues to attract visitors and drive economic growth.
