No increase in taxi fares for next two years
Over the summer, the taxi regulator Kathleen Doyle travelled around the country holding meetings with the public and industry stakeholders on the competitiveness of the existing fare and calls for the rate to be either increased or decreased.
She received more than 300 individual submissions and multiple submissions representing around 500 industry members. More than 1,000 drivers were surveyed on their views on the fare options and operating costs and more than 1,000 consumers were also surveyed.
