| Category | Estimated Adoption Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Limo Industry Transition in Australia | Strong trend towards automation, likely >70-80% of established companies. | Exact figures are proprietary. However, the highly competitive market, especially with the rise of ride-hailing, necessitates automation for efficiency, pricing, and customer experience. Smaller, newer operators are likely to adopt automation from the outset. |
| New Entrants/Startups | Near 100% adoption of digital/automated solutions. | They build their business model around technology. |
| Traditional Limo Companies | High conversion rate from manual to automated systems over the past decade. | Driven by efficiency, customer expectations, and competition. |

|---|---|---|
| Uber/DiDi/Ola Trips (Australia) | Millions daily (exact figures proprietary, but significant) | Ride-hailing has a very high volume of daily trips. Uber, DiDi, and Ola dominate this.

| 13cabs (Australia) | "4,000 business trips" daily (corporate travel) + many more individual trips. | This indicates a substantial number of daily bookings for Australia's largest taxi network, but the total number is not publicly available. |
| Traditional Taxi Trips (e.g., South Australia, 2014/15) | ~22,000 daily trips (8 million trips/year) for SA taxi industry. | This figure is older and specific to SA taxis, not including ride-hailing or limos. It provides a benchmark for a state. |
| Limo/Chauffeur Bookings | Highly variable; no consolidated public data. | This is a fragmented market. Larger corporate limo services might handle hundreds or thousands of bookings daily, while smaller ones handle fewer. No central reporting mechanism exists. |
