Overview
We are reviewing the maximum unbooked taxi fares that begin in the metro and urban zones, which covers most of Melbourne, Dandenong, Frankston, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula.
We are also reviewing the current maximum non-cash payment surcharges for taxi services in Victoria. The surcharge applies when a taxi passenger pays for a fare using non-cash payment transaction options, such as credit and debit cards or Cabcharge.
We are required to review our determinations on the maximum unbooked taxi fares and maximum non-cash payment surcharge every two years.
