Victorians will have more assurance about the price they pay when taking a taxi from a rank or hailing one on the street after new regulations by the Andrews government kick start next month.
Starting from September 28th, all taxi drivers in Victoria must use their meters for all unbooked trips in Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, preventing taxi drivers from negotiating a price with customers above the regulated maximum fare and essentially ending dodgy behaviour from taxi drivers, particularly at times of high demand and will remove any confusion over fare rules.
