West Lothian taxi fares set to increase for first time in six years

Proposals which will see the basic fares for taxis and private hire cars across West Lothian increase are being put to the public.

West Lothian residents have a month to let the council know what they think about the planned increase, set to come into force in November, which could see a 40p rise in standard meter tariff.

Proposed increases will see tariff fares rise from a basic £2.60 and £3 at weekends to £3 and £3.40. Christmas and New Year basic fare charges will rise from £3.90 to £5.10. All other additional charges will also rise.
