What Téo Taxi does

Téo Taxi, a division of the privately held Taxelco group, is the largest taxi dispatcher in Quebec, operating a multi-brand fleet across Greater Montreal. The group runs six taxi brands — Téo Taxi (the 100% electric flagship), Taxi Diamond (operating since 1922), Taxi Hochelaga (since 1967), Taxi Prestige Châteauguay, Taxi Central Beloeil (joined 2016), and Taxi Union (acquired February 2025) — covering Montreal Island, Laval, the South Shore, Châteauguay, and Beloeil. Beyond traditional metered taxi rides, it offers adapted transport for mobility-impaired passengers, collective shared taxis, corporate accounts, biological specimen delivery, courier services, and the Taxi Rose women-only service launched in November 2024.

The underlying technology stack is built on the third-party iCabbi dispatch platform, paired with a CTQ-regulated virtual taximeter, a proprietary consumer mobile app (Téo Solution Verte et Locale on iOS and Android), and the Netlift healthcare logistics platform for managing non-urgent medical transportation. Distribution combines a self-serve app and web booking portal with phone reservations, an enterprise sales motion for corporate and healthcare accounts, and channel partnerships with STM, STL, EXO (collective and adapted transport) and Aéroports de Montréal (airport taxi management since March 2025).

Revenue is generated primarily through CTQ-regulated metered taxi fares (transaction-based), supplemented by corporate subscriptions, managed healthcare logistics via Netlift, delivery and courier fees, and one-time taxi rental/shuttle arrangements. Pricing is constrained by Commission des Transports du Québec regulation, with day and night tariffs differentiated by speed thresholds, plus a mandatory airport fee for YUL service. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Co-op Cabs (Toronto): Toronto taxi cooperative. Comparable cooperative dispatch model with multiple sub-brands, analogous to Téo Taxi's consolidated multi-brand Quebec structure.
• Beck Taxi: Toronto-based taxi company and one of the largest independent taxi fleets in Canada. Comparable regulated urban taxi operator with brand heritage and a large driver base.

Emerging players

• Medical Transportation / NEMT providers (e.g., MediCab-style operators): Specialty non-emergency medical transportation operators that overlap with Téo Taxi's Netlift platform for healthcare facility logistics and patient transport.
• Handi-Transit / STM Paratransit: Public-sector adapted transport service in Montreal. Competes with Téo Taxi's adapted transport vertical for accessible mobility contracts and passengers with reduced mobility.

Direct peers

• Coop Taxi Montréal: Cooperative taxi dispatcher serving the Greater Montreal area. Directly competes with Téo Taxi for riders, drivers, and corporate accounts in the same metropolitan market.
• Taxi Coop de Québec: Cooperative taxi dispatcher serving the Quebec City region. Comparable regulated taxi dispatch model under CTQ jurisdiction, with similar brand consolidation strategy.

Others

• iCabbi (parent platform): Taxi dispatch technology provider whose platform underpins Téo Taxi's driver app, virtual taximeter, and web booking. An enabling technology peer rather than a direct competitor.
• Taxi Diamond (legacy, pre-consolidation): Now a wholly-owned Téo Taxi subsidiary, but historically an independent Montreal taxi operator since 1922 — a useful historical comp for the kind of legacy operator Téo Taxi continues to consolidate.

Broad incumbents

• Lyft: Major North American rideshare platform. Operates alongside taxi dispatchers in Canadian cities and represents the broader app-based competitive dynamic facing Téo Taxi.
• Uber Canada: Largest rideshare platform operating in Montreal. Competes with Téo Taxi for on-demand urban mobility demand, though under a different regulatory regime.
