The recent spike in gas prices has many people thinking a corresponding increase in taxi fares might be on the way.Not yet-that from the President of the City's Taxi Advisory Committee.Christine Saumure tells CHSJ news no official discussion has taken place yet but that could change quickly.
Samure says should gas prices increase, she can see a dialogue happening between the advisory comittee and taxi stand owners to reevaluate the situation.
Many taxi drivers are implementing an anti-idling policy and it's working so well, we are told, one Saint John company isn't feeling the pinch from high gas prices whatsoever.
Saumure says there is no interest at this point in adding the gas surtage to taxi fares in the city.
