What Teito Motor Transportation does

Teito Motor Transportation (帝都自動車交通株式会社) is a Tokyo-based taxi and premium hire (chauffeur-driven) transportation company founded in 1938, operating a 737-vehicle fleet across Tokyo's 23 wards, Musashino, and Mitaka. The company operates two core service lines: metered taxi services with fixed-fare options to Haneda/Narita airports and Tokyo Disney Resort, and a hire division offering chartered, scheduled, spot, golf, and airport transfer services using luxury vehicles (Lexus LS/ES, Toyota Century/Crown, Nissan Cima, Honda Legend) and 1BOX wagons (Toyota Alphard, Hiace Grand Cabin). Revenue is generated through per-trip metered fares, corporate post-pay taxi ticket programs (¥300,000-500,000 deposit per client), fleet operations outsourcing for corporate clients, and flat-rate airport/Disney packages ranging from ¥6,900 to ¥33,000.

The company deploys several technology layers including the DRIVE CHART AI dashcam for real-time driver behavior and accident risk monitoring, IP wireless dispatch systems, multilingual 4-language payment tablets supporting credit cards, e-money, and QR codes, and integration with the GO app and Kokokite TAXI smartphone platforms. Specialized service lines include Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi with certified guide-drivers, Famisapo Taxi for pregnant women and seniors with priority dispatch, and GO PREMIUM launched in August 2025. The fleet is transitioning to zero-emission vehicles with 10 EV units deployed in April 2024 and 5 FCEV (hydrogen fuel cell) units introduced in September 2025.

Customer segments span individual consumers, inbound international tourists via the Keisei Skyliner partnership package, corporate clients served by dedicated hire sales offices, and special-needs passengers. Distribution operates through 14 sales/taxi offices, 3 dedicated taxi stands at Shiodome City Center/Ginza Nine/Tokyo Midtown, 24/7 phone dispatch, GO app, Kokokite TAXI app, and partner channels including Keisei, Keio, and Shochiku group networks. In March 2024, Teito absorbed 4 taxi subsidiaries and 3 hire subsidiaries, and in 2025 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keisei Electric Railway Taxi Holdings, integrating into the Keisei Group's 18+ affiliated taxi and bus companies.
