When darkness falls, the ride home becomes important.

Victoria takes the safety of its taxi industry seriously. The standards of cameras and audio in commercial passenger vehicles are set by Safe Transport Victoria, and new standards for unbooked transport came into force on 1 July 2026.

Cameras capture what happens, but pre-booking the trip, licensed drivers, and a good dispatcher can prevent problems beforehand.
