Major changes are happening to taxis in Dublin and around the country next week as fares are set to increase.
From next Thursday, fares will rise by an average of 12%. It will also be mandatory for taxis to accept card payment for journeys, as well as cash.
The National Transport Authority Board approved the increase in June, saying it "reflects the increase in operating costs faced by taxi drivers". The increase is the first since 2018 when taxi fares rose by an average of 4.5%.
