Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport
Mr. Jim Waldron:
Can the Deputy tell me another business that cannot change its prices or fares? We are a regulated industry and taxis can only charge what is on the meter. It is programmed by the National Transport Authority. A shopkeeper or somebody in retail or other businesses can increase or decrease prices but we cannot do anything like that. We have had the same fare for over three years.
