The South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) said today that taxi fare increases can be expected if the fuel price continues to rise.

The Department of Energy announced last week that the fuel prices might increase this week.

The fuel price increase of 30 cents is expected tomorrow.

Santaco`s Mvuyisi Mente said that they will call a special meeting to discuss the possibilities of increase in taxi fares.

Mente further said the needs of the commuters will be considered before prices are adjusted.
