Metro Taxis cuts fares to the Bone

It is reported that Metro Taxis (Stockport) is cutting a further 10% from its fares, this is believed to be an escaslation in the ongoing price war with Hazel Grove based Lynx.

It is claimed the council have given permission for Black cab taxi meters to have a manually selected, lower tariff for the radio work.

Metro already ignored the 8% fare rise and have cut the 33% night and holiday rate.

This means in effect, that a journey after midnight now costs 51% less than two years ago.

Of course, radio subs and fuel have been reduced by the same amount - Haven't they??
