Fare Increase

It was announced tonight that as of next Saturday we will recieve a fare increase of just over 4%.

Working it out on the 4.7% they got on the east coast (Either Qld or Vic I can't remember) our new flagfall will be $3.40/$4.80 days/nights with the kilometer rate increased to $1.35 currently they are $3.20/$4.60 and $1.29 respectively. There will also be a $2 surcharge payable on any fare between 11pm and 5am on Friday and Saturday nights to encourage drivers to work the peak demand times.

Update: It turns out we are getting 4.45% starting on the 2nd Dec

Update: The call out fee has also increased from $1 to $1.50
