Failed taxi scheme costs €350,000

Introduced last September, the stickers, which were also in Braille, interfered with the opening of electric windows in taxis.

The stickers cost €11.68 per car and were sent to over 20,000 taxis. Each pack was sent by registered post, which costs a minimum €4.50 per item. This package also included an industry CD. The design cost, which is unavailable, also added to the bill.
