Not a single taxi operator in East Lothian asked for a fare increase to be introduced this year, leaving charges frozen for the third year in a row.
A meeting of East Lothian Council's licensing sub-committee heard more than 70 operators were contacted ahead of its regular review of fares - with no response from any of them.
Committee members agreed to keep the fares at the same price following the lack of response, however concerns were raised over the lack of communication between the local authority and the taxi trade.
