The Pe­nal/Debe Taxi Dri­vers As­so­ci­a­tion has in­tro­duced new mea­sures aimed at ad­dress­ing per­sis­tent com­plaints from com­muters about fare in­con­sis­ten­cies along its routes.

In a pub­lic no­tice is­sued by pres­i­dent Dav­eanand Lall, the as­so­ci­a­tion ac­knowl­edged re­ceiv­ing nu­mer­ous re­ports of dri­vers over­charg­ing pas­sen­gers and said it has tak­en steps to re­store con­fi­dence in the ser­vice.

As part of the ini­tia­tive, all reg­is­tered dri­vers must now promi­nent­ly dis­play an of­fi­cial fare list in­side their ve­hi­cles. The move is in­tend­ed to pro­vide trans­paren­cy and en­sure com­muters are ful­ly aware of ap­proved rates be­fore be­gin­ning their trav­el.
