2011 since our last increase.

In areas that don't increase in that sort of time I think council's should lose the right to govern taxi fares.



I agree but, it's the companies who are keeping prices low. The Council listen to them instead of the drivers on the coal face.

Who runs the association? Do you have drivers in the area that are looking to increase fares or are they all happy with the fares as they are.
If there are more than a few who are unhappy then they need to make theri voices heard at the association. The association leaders can't just decide that they don't want an increase.
The majority of drivers want an increase. The problem is hack prices are already higher than PH (on the big companies), the hacks worry that if they get an increase and the PH firms dont put their prices up then they'll lose more to the PH side than they'll gain.
