TAXI OVERCHARGING
There was ,no valid reason why, any ope should be overcharged by taxi drivers, said a Wellington traffic inspector. He said that every taxi must have a meter. This must be in good order, and it recorded the correct fare for the benefit of passenger and driver alike. Visitors or Wellington residents could safeguard themselves by looking at the meter at the start of a trip, when it should register the minimum fare, and at the end, when the full fare would be recorded. Whatever the meter showed then was the fare —no more, no less — plus certain minor stipulated charges for luggage where such was carried.
