Council Shoots Down Taxi Rate Increase

Some changes are coming to Kenora's Taxi By-Law, but they don't include
a rate increase.

Council agreed this week to a number of updates to the Comprehensive
Taxi By-Law.

Council considers the changes to be housekeeping, but won't include a
meter rate increase.

Late last year, Co-Ot Taxi had requested an increase due to the rising cost
of things like fuel and insurance.

Council did not give any reason for refusing the rate increase.

The changes are due to take effect on June 1st.
