INCREASE IN<br />
Rank & Hail Fares<br />
Maximum metered rank and<br />
hail (taxi) fares will increase by<br />
approximately 2% from Monday, 1<br />
August <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
The increase aims to assist<br />
On-Demand Booking Services<br />
(OBDS) and drivers who provide<br />
rank or hail services, to manage<br />
increasing operating cost<br />
pressures.<br />
ODBSs are reminded that:<br />
• they cannot increase their<br />
metered rank or hail fares<br />
before Monday, 1 August<br />
<strong>2022</strong>; and<br />
• the regulated fares are<br />
maximums – ODBSs can<br />
choose to apply all, some, or<br />
none of the increase to their<br />
fares.<br />
This fare increase is an interim<br />
measure while Department of<br />
Transport (DoT) is progressing<br />
its review of the regulation of<br />
maximum taxi fares.<br />
The initial consultation stage<br />
conducted by KPMG has now<br />
concluded and DoT is currently<br />
considering the findings.<br />
