Taxi fares to rise in Carlow and Kilkenny on a temporary basis for bonus bank holiday

Taxi fares are rising temporarily for the bank holiday this week.

Transport for Ireland says drivers are entitled to add 20% to the price of metered fares between 8am and 8pm this Friday, March 18th.

The TFI says it wasn’t feasible to calibrate taxi meters to take account of the one-off bank holiday and so drivers will write the extra 20% charge on all receipts.
