With the increments, Trans-cab’s flag-down rate will be at $4.60 for its smaller taxis while its fleet of Toyota Alphards will cost $5.50 onwards. Prime Taxi’s flag-down rate will be at $4.60 for all of its 1.5-litre taxis and its Toyota Prius cabs. The rate will start from $4.80 for Prime Taxi’s Toyota Noah and Toyota Corola cabs. The flag-down rate for Prime Taxi’s bigger cabs will remain unchanged at $5.
Trans-cab and Prime Taxi will be increasing fares as well as distance and time-based charges, according to notices published in The Business Times on Dec 21. From Dec 28, flag-down fares will be 50 cents higher while distance and time-based charges will be up by 1 cent.
The move comes after ComfortDelGro announced that it will be increasing its taxi fare structure on Dec 6. The new fares were effective from Dec 13 onwards.
