Blackburn and Darwen taxi fares on the rise to help drivers in cost of living crisis
Taxi fares across Blackburn and Darwen are set to rise by 7.5% to help drivers and operators cope with the rising cost of fuel and parts. But the extra charge for Sunday and most bank holidays is to be scrapped.
Cllr Smith said in an executive decision: ”Blackburn Hackney Carriage Association submitted a request on behalf of the trade for an increase in the fares for hackney carriage journeys. They need the rise because of the effect of inflation particularly fuel prices. The last increase was in 2019.“The increase in fares will take effect from December 10. The fare for a two mile journey on Tariff One is currently £6.30.
Cllr Patel said: “I welcome this. Drivers and operators are suffering from the cost of living crisis. The cost of fuel and parts is hitting them hard. This will help.”
