Cape Town – Commuters will have to dig deeper into their pockets from Sunday when taxi fares increase. The Congress of Democratic Taxi Associations said rising fuel costs have forced their hand, and rides along all their routes will cost R1 more.
They operate in several areas, including to and from the CBD. Commuters who live in Khayelitsha will now pay R20 for a one-way ride to town. Codeta spokesperson Andile Khanyi said they regretted the impact of the adjustments on commuters, especially on the poor. “Although the fuel price has increased a number of times this year, this is our first price adjustment in the year. Without the fare hikes, many taxi operators would struggle to stay in business and continue to offer the much-needed service.
