Happening today: A public hearing will be held on a proposal to raise taxi rates for the first time in a decade. elijahwestbrook reports.
If approved, the new rules would increase the meter rate and set a new flat fee for trips to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
To try and help, the TLC is looking to charge more. It's proposing an increase in base fares by 50 cents. The nighttime surcharge would go from 50 cents to $1, and the rush hour fee would more than double from $1 to $2.50. Other changes would apply to rides to and from the airport. For instance, JFK to and from Manhattan would go from a flat rate of $52 to $65. The surcharge to and from Newark Liberty International Airport would be $20, and rides to and from LaGuardia Airport would come with a new $5 surcharge.
