Taxi fares as recorded by the taximeters are charged according to approved fare scales. No additional charge is levied on wheelchairs and crutches carried by passengers with disabilities.
Two existing taxi operators, namely Diamond Cab and SynCab are providing passengers with WATs and service of higher quality in the form of hire-as-a-whole service.
