Edinburgh taxi fares to rise by 20%, with a two-mile trip set to cost almost £10
The fare increase was approved after a report found drivers were struggling to cope with rising inflation.
Taxi fares in Edinburgh will increase by up to 20 per cent to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of running a vehicle, the council has confirmed.
Councillors have agreed to the price hike, which would not impact private hire vehicles.
It comes after a review, carried out by consultants Jacobs on behalf of Edinburgh City Counci l, recommended raising the maximum fare cap in light of a 14.2% increase in inflation.
