In response to the doubling of the toll for maxi-taxis operating on the PBR, drivers are predicting increased fares for commuters, with suggestions of a $3 raise for short drops.

However, the decision is not final and operators still have to balance the now $600 quarterly toll, the doubling of most traffic fines and potential increase in prices of vehicle parts as customs fees are also set to double.

As gazetted on December 25, customs declaration fees will go from $40 to $80, container examination from $375 for a 20-foot container to $750 and from $525 for 40-foot containers to $1,050.
