Don't blame drivers for fare increase

5:17pm Thursday 26th August 2010

SINCE the taxi fares and tariff changes this month, there have been many complaints from customers using taxis. I would urge people to keep in mind that it is not the drivers who put the fares up, it is Cheshire West and Cheshire Council.

I had one female customer travelling from DB’s music bar to Saxons who complained bitterly about the fares and tariff. Even though I pointed out that it was not the drivers who are responsible for pricing she was quite rude and called drivers rip-offs.

People also need to remember that Tariff 2 is now from 11pm and not 11.30pm. This change was also brought in by the council.

If people want to rant and complain about taxi fares please take your objections to the right people, CWAC, and not the taxi drivers!
