Taxi companies asking for fare increases
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Taxi fare rates in Medicine Hat have not increased in nearly ten years.
Deluxe Central Taxi and Care Cabs have requested the City of Medicine Hat increase the rates in the city.
City staff are suggesting the distance rate be increased from 15 cents per 100 meters to 17 cents.
Wait time costs would be raised from 50 cents a minute to 57 cents if the proposal is approved by City Council.
