Taxi fares are set to increase by 4.5%.

The National Transport Authority is proposing the rise because the cost of operating a taxi has risen by 4% since 2017.

The NTA also plans to make paying by card standard practice in all taxis.

The NTA says:

"Strong economic growth has had a positive implication for the taxi industry over the past two years."

"NTA estimates that the cost of operating a taxi has increased by about 4% since 2017.

"The increase in maximum fares of 4.5% covers both this increase, and the cost associated with the provision of card payment facilities."

Any changes would take effect early in 2020.
