The Maximum Taxi Fare Review 2024 proposes a weighted average increase of 9% over current fares, together with:

The extension of the Special Tariff (already in existence over the Christmas Holiday period) across the late-night weekend periods of midnight to 4am to incentivise increased taxi services at that peak; and
An increase in the Booking Fee from €2.00 to €3.00 to incentivise suburban and rural service provision.

NTA invites submissions from all interested parties including users and providers until Friday 16th August 2024.
