A Former Head of the Curepe/Chaguanas Taxi Drivers Association has apologised to commuters following the latest price hike presented by the Association.

The decision was taken to raise the fare from $10 to $12.

At Curepe Junction on Monday, Curt Smart said the fare increase was set without discussions being held, and he will not be charging his passengers more. He said just a few people are using the service since the announcement of the hike in fares.

Meanwhile, the current President, Farouk Ghany, told the media the price increase comes following the rise in price of Super gas to $4.97 per litre. He said the new fares were agreed on following three meetings last week.
