from "the comet" a new one on me https://www.thecomet.net/news/24569068.taxi-tariffs-consultation-2024-additional-charges-come/ The main consultation includes three separate options and the council are keen to hear the views of the public, these are: 1. Increase the mileage only This entails freezing the initial fare at £3.80 and increasing Tariffs, one, two and three by less than 3 per cent. 2. Increase start price and mileage Another option is to increase the initial fare by five pence (£3.80 to £3.85) while increasing tariffs one, two and three by less than 4 per cent. 3. No change The initial fare would freeze at £3.80 as well as tariffs one, two and three. Other changes include potential additional charges - which must be added on the meter at the start of the journey: Up to two items of baggage or shopping: 20 pence Three or more items of baggage or shopping: 40 pence (maximum) For each person in excess of one: 20 pence Additional charges should total no more than £200 Soiling charge (for whatever reason) £50 (maximum) The above tariff is proposed to take effect from October 21, 2024. To find out more, the consultation review and supporting information is available at stevenage.gov.uk/have-your-say/taxi-fares-and-tariffs-consultation-annual-review-2024 not sure everyone will be happy with a maximum soiling charge being set |

I wonder how many people from the general public will vote for an increase rather than a freeze in fares.  TBH none of those increases are worth a toss. If my council offered an increase of 5p on the flag they would be told to stick that increase where the sun doesn't shine. |
