TAXI CHARGES
Sir,—How do the taxi firms arrive at their charges? On Monday a girl who had a taxi call to take her home from a house we were visiting in town offered me a lift. I only had a short distance to go and the taxi did not have to leave the main street, yet I was charged 2s. Is that right? Surely a person who has hired a taxi can give another a lift. lam sure many others are anxious to learn the basis of these new charges.—Yours, etc.. ONCE BITTEN. September 9, 1942. [The chairman of the Taxi-Cab Control Committee, Mr F. J. Carroll, said yesterday that only one fare should have been charged. "Once Bitten” was entitled to a refund of the 2s. Any person who hired a taxi wa‘s entitled to pick up another, so long as the regulations against "double banking” were not infringed.]
