NTA’s maximum taxi fare review for 2024 details challenges around operating costs and demand

Results of a household survey commissioned by the NTA suggests demand for taxis is being impacted by the cost of living in Ireland

The NTA has launched a public consultation on the proposed fare hike, which is largely based on higher labour costs and an increase in car purchase and finance costs. Night-time fares in 2022 rose by 17 per cent to incentivise drivers to operate during peak demand times. The latest report details a shift away from night-time taxi use, with the proportion of last trips taken between the hours of 8pm and 6am falling significantly.

Results of a household survey commissioned by the NTA suggests demand for taxis is being impacted by the cost of living in Ireland. Some 81 per cent of respondents, down from 83 per cent in 2022, said they used taxis, while 43 per cent said they were using taxis less often.
