Bid to increase black cab taxi fares in Darlington refused
Darlington Borough Council considered several proposals to increase black cab tariffs following a formal request for an increase by the trade.
Fares in the town are currently the highest in the Tees Valley, costing passengers £6.30 per every two miles compared to neighbouring Durham, which currently charges £6.50. The lowest fare, in Middlesbrough, costs £4.90.
Of the 134 hackney carriage drivers in Darlington, only 24 responded to the proposals. They favoured increasing fares in the first 1760 yards and time. In total, 21 out of 24 responders favoured an increase.
