Outcomes
Proposal A was recommended by the Taxi & General Committee and subsequently approved by Cabinet, balancing the need to support the taxi trade with maintaining affordable and accessible transport for residents.
Proposal A includes increases to the flag fares and mileage rates across the tariff structure, together with an increase in waiting time charges.
A public notice setting out the proposed fare changes will be published in the Caerphilly Observer on 9 July 2026. A 14-day consultation period will then commence, during which members of the public and other interested parties may submit comments or objections before the revised tariff can be brought into effect.
