A rather disturbing news published this morning… We left the discussion about increase of taxis fares here... But it seems that some operators didn’t wait for an official approval. And that they chose a + 100% hike (for the same distance, you would pay the double than previously) !
“Many people are disgruntled as taxi operators have raised the fare for the first two kilometers to 40 baht and adjust the rate of 4.5 baht for each kilometer instead of two kilometers after that. The taxi operators have adjusted the fare following the government’s approval to float the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) price.
Numerous of commuters are complaining that the taxi fare adjustment is too much, adding that the previous rate, starting at 35 baht, was already high. However, public members view that the government should ensure that taxi fare is reasonably raised.” (National News Bureau)
