Fiji Taxi Control Plan

p. 67 · Read in the full issue

With more than 800 taxis operating in Fiji, plus a number of illegal ones, there are now more taxis than the Colony requires and the industry is “depressed”, says a report by the Fiji Department of Transport. It has pro posed various measures to combat excessive competition, fare cutting, overcharging and touting. One of the proposals is installation of taxi meters, and another is that the number of taxis be limited and that they be licensed under three classes—only one class being able to operate anywhere in the Colony.
