Meters For Fiji

Taxi meters will be com pulsory in Viti Levu, Fiji’s main island, from September 1 this year.

Fiji’s Central Traffic Authority

announced in December that taxi owners could use meters of their own choice, but were advised to check the technical suitability of the ones they decided to get with the Principal

Licensing Authority.

The Suva Taxi Union pro tested on the grounds that each meter would cost $BO to $9O and that taxi men would have a difficult job finding the money.

The Fiji Taxi Union, which favours meters, said taxi pro prietors and the passengers would then be assured of a fair deal.
