Ireland's NTA recommends 9% taxi fare increase due to rising costs and decreasing usage.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) in Ireland has recommended a 9% increase in taxi fares to reflect operating costs, following a regular two-yearly review of industry charges. The NTA is considering factors like inflation, fuel prices, and public transport availability in Dublin and surrounding areas. The proposed increase aims to balance the potential impact on consumer demand for taxis. The NTA has noted a decrease in the number of people using taxis, with 43% of survey respondents stating they are using taxis less due to the cost of living.
