In this paper we present a Markov-based urban transportation model that captures the operation of a fleet of taxis in response to incident customer arrivals throughout the city. We consider three different evaluation criteria: (1) minimizing the number of transportation resources for urban planning; (2) minimizing fuel consumption for the drivers; and (3) minimizing customer waiting time increase the overall quality of service. We present a practical policy and evaluate it by comparing against the actual observed redistribution of taxi drivers in Singapore. We show through simulation that our proposed policy is stable and improves substantially upon the default unmanaged redistribution of taxi drivers in Singapore with respect to the three evaluation criteria.
