Taxi transport tariffs were raised by 5.1 percent on Wednesday in response to the increasing price of fuel, particularly of diesel fuel since June 2006.
Taxi tariffs will start at a minimum of NIS 9.90 instead of NIS 9.50 previously. The tariff for ordering a taxi by telephone has gone up to NIS 3.80 from NIS 3.60 previously, while the added third person fee rose to NIS 3.50 from NIS 3.30 previously.
