Managing Director and CEO of A2B, Andrew Skelton said, “We’re encouraged by such strong shareholder support for the decision to become A2B Australia. The new name more accurately reflects the evolving scope and nature of our business. A2B will house our strengthening portfolio of customer-facing brands such as 13cabs, Cabcharge Payments, Silver Service and Mobile Technologies International.

  • 1 Executive Summary 2 A2B Australia Limited
    1 Executive summary The competitive landscape of the personal transport industry has been and is continuing to experience unprecedented change and disruption from regulatory reform, new entrants and new, vertically integrated business models. Since the 5% cap on surcharges was introduced in Victoria in 2014, the illegal entry of Uber in 2012 and subsequent legalisation of ridesharing in 2016, competition in all facets of the industry has substantially increased and is now more intense than ever. Ridesharing service providers have grown the market for personal transport and are now an entrenched part of the competitive landscape. Their services are perfectly substitutable for booked Taxi services and they have taken market share from unbooked Taxi services. Ridesharing service providers’ share of the market is increasing year on year. Concurrently, deregulation of the Taxi licencing system in Victoria in October 2017 has almost doubled the number of Taxis in Victoria. Since Cabcharge Payments provides in-Taxi hardware to facilitate non-cash payments, the number of terminals it deploys has increased directly in line with the increase in the number of Taxis. The ESC should change the maximum surcharge from 5% to to satisfy its statutory obligation to ensure persons facilitating the making of non-cash payment transactions are able to recover the reasonable cost of accepting and processing such transactions.1 In setting the maximum surcharge, the ESC must allocate proper weight to each of its statutory objectives. The ESC’s overarching statutory objective is to promote the long term interests of Victorian consumers with regard to the price, quality and reliability of essential services.

While never as good as when we all can be in the same room, I think it emphasises the difficulties that have been present this year. Our business is about being a seamless part of people’s lives, getting them where they need to be safely, securely, and equitably. Much of our business relies on the unrestricted movement of people and of course the measures that were put in place to control the spread of the coronavirus severely affected our ability to provide those services. To underline this fact, in the early weeks of the pandemic we experienced payment turnover declines exceeding 80% and fleet numbers contracting by over 30%. Until the lockdowns and restrictions were put in place the Company was tracking to exceed last year’s all-time high revenue of $197.9 million.
