Taxi fares in the Western Cape and Limpopo will increase for both local and long-distance travel from Monday, as taxi associations respond to rising petrol prices driven by the war in the Middle East.
The SA National Taxi Council Santaco said in a media briefing on Thursday that the increases would strain the budgets of already burdened households.
Fare increases will reportedly differ by route and distance travelled, with some commuters expected to pay between R2 and R6 more. In Limpopo, fares will only increase by R5 from Seshego to Polokwane.
