I'm sure we discussed this last week and the week before. The fare increase was approved by TAC and NTA last December. In the normal course of business it would have been implemented this month. However, TAC is rumoured to have instructed NTA to postpone implementation until the latter half of the year to avoid any potential confusion with Free Now's 25% freight increase and to delay the start of the next fare review process to the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023, by which time the need to include Free Now's 25% freight increase in the taxi cost index will have eroded as drivers will have absorbed and forgotten it by then.
