Tariffs and Fees | NSW Taxi Council

For NSW, we set the maximal rates for ranking and tail taxi service operating in NSW. On 1 November 2017, a new Taxi Tariff Regulation entered into force, which coincides with the start of the new legal regime for the point-to-point transportation sector. Importantly, the Tariff Ordinance only covers taxi ranks that are captured or called on the road.

This does not extend to point to point transportation (including taxi rides). Further changes to the taxi fare order included the cancellation of a reservation charge, the change to the $120 charge for clearing, and the cancellation of the back tolls for Sydney Harbour Bridge and northern tunnels.

A new set of point-to-point regulations (Taxis and Rental Vehicles) 2017 contains new regulations for fare calculating equipment (or counters) used in taxi vehicles in NSW. The taxi companies, however, have until 1 November 2018 to make sure that they fulfil the new conditions, provided that their taxi cabs are currently equipped with taxi metres which fulfil all the conditions laid down in Annex 2 to the Passenger Transport Regulation 2007 in effect on 31 October 2017.

Tariffs for taxi bookings are no longer governed by the authorities, i.e. all taxi bookers can fix their own tariffs on the basis of the taxi cab offered and choose to discount or charge top prices. You can find further information on the posted rates under Transport for NSW. These changes allow all reservation operators to flexibly adjust their prices in different ways, which can be beneficial to the client, and allow you to benchmark tariffs between different operators.

You may now see some variation in the rates offered on the point-to-point traffic markets you have reserved. For example, suppliers can provide fidelity or "frequent traveller" rebates or fix rates for certain journeys, e.g. from the CBD to the airports.

Point-to-point bookings must now be accompanied by an advance ticket price forecast before departure. It will make it easy for you to look around to get a good level of customer care that fits you. Reservation operators may indicate the estimated fare on the basis of: or a mixture of means, such as fares per hour and per mile.

The fare estimations shall also contain information on how the fare can be adjusted in respect of the amount and how the variance is computed. Journey cannot begin until you have reached agreement on the fare estimate. Taxis Transport Subsidy Scheme (TTSS) clients stay at the rates they have reserved. Tariff calculating equipment must be used for all trips on ATSS and the charge must be lower than the regulatory limit established by the transport for NSW.

Point-to-Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016 (the Act) obliges Transport for NSW to establish, before March 31 of each year, the number of taxi fees to be charged annually from the following July 1. When determining licenses, Transport for NSW must take into account the elements described in Section 73 of the Act, including:

Probable ridership request and deferred request for taxi service. Service of existent taxi service. Requests for new taxi licenses. Future prospects and sustainable development of the taxi business. All other issues that NSW regards as important for transportation, taking into account the aim of providing an enhanced taxi service. In order to help the sector adapt to point-to-point traffic reform, no new taxi charges will be introduced in Sydney before 2019, with the exception of taxi charges for wheelchairs and substitute licenses.

Meanwhile, although substitute licenses can be granted, the number of taxi licenses in Sydney will not rise before March 2019. Pursuant to the Point to Point Transport (Taxi and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016, Transport for NSW determines the category of taxi licenses that may be provided by the Point to Point Transport Commissioner and also determines the license fees for a tax license that is suitable for wheelchairs.

The Minister of Transport may instruct the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to investigate and issue a recommendation on the number of taxi fees to be paid for a given timeframe. The IPART is currently advising the NSW Government on the number of new taxi licenses (excluding those for handicapped taxis) to be granted from 1 July 2018 in areas outside Sydney.

Earlier IPART Reviews on the determination of taxilices are available on the IPART website. As soon as Transport for NSW has established the number and nature of taxi charges to be approved in a given amount of time, the Point to Point Transport Commissioner will issue a call for tenders for taxi charges in accordance with the Point to Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016.

Further information on taxi fee calls can be found on the Commissioner's website.
