Modal choice in public transport is based on many factors such as geography, transportation routines,economic conditions and population. Taxi transport is an increasing type of public transport as it goes towardsmetropolitan cities and as the population density increases. In particular, the lack of irregularity and accessibility ofthe stopping areas causes taxis to reduce the demand for the trip and causes unbalanced distribution. In this study,the number of taxi stops, number of taxis, numbers of taxi licenses according to types, population, populationdensity of neighborhoods, area size of zones, number of taxis per person and number of taxis per km2 have beendetermined in Corlu. Zones in the region are divided into sub zones according to population density and land usedistribution. The accessibility areas of the taxi stops are determined by means of circles formed on the basis of 500m walking distance. The number of taxis required by the population, the pedestrian access to the taxi stops, andthe number of the taxis in the existing stops are compared and the number of taxis expected to serve in comparisonwith the population in the zones are determined and the sufficiency of the existing zones are questioned. Accordingto obtained results, 325 taxis may provide sufficient service to population in Corlu. With proposed distribution, theservice area of taxi stops are increased to 235 km2. Service area is increased from 23% to 37%.
