Source: NSW. Minister for Transport. Media Release.
"Minister for Transport David Campbell said compliance officers would be out in force to crackdown on taxi touting during the holiday season. Mr Campbell said summer was the busiest time of year for taxis but that was no excuse for illegal behaviour.
"Taxi touting is when a taxi driver demands an illegally high fare, or when one is offered by a passenger," Mr Campbell said. "Taxi touting is illegal and it won’t be tolerated."
