Taxis are popular and convenient transport options in urban areas, yet they are often a target for complaints with respect to service quality and driver behavior. Understanding taxi driver behavior is important, since they are responsible for travelers’ safe, efficient, and convenient commuting. This paper investigates taxi drivers’ behavioral aspects, using data from a questionnaire survey undertaken in Athens, Greece. These aspects include driving conduct, illegal driving practices and environmental awareness, which are analyzed using econometric models. Results show that specific work attributes, driving style and the way of doing business are factors affecting those drivers’ behavioral aspects. These findings can be exploited by decision makers for modifying taxi operations and mitigating the impacts of traffic code violation practices. Also, in an era of sustainable mobility, these can be used for suggesting targeted policies focusing on improving environmental awareness of taxi drivers.
