Taxis Kenora

The City of Kenora is proposing to make some changes to the Taxi Licence By-Law to help protect passengers and drivers alike.

The city recently took over jurisdiction of taxis from the former Kenora Police Service and is looking for more accuracy in the fare structure.

Mike Mostow is a spokesperson for the city and says there seems to be some discrepency from taxi to taxi in terms of fares.

Mostow says he would like to calibrate the meters on all taxis each year and seal them so they cannot be tampered with.

Council is also planning to defer any rate increases for taxi drivers until June 1st, 2010, instead of January 1st.
