Phuket MP urges residents to report taxi apps that overcharge

[webfact]

The MP for Phuket District 1 is calling on passengers who are overcharged by taxi apps to report them. Somchart Techathavorncharoen, a Move Forward MP, says any taxi driver who doesn’t adhere to the rates laid down by the government should be reported.

 

“Taxi fares arranged via applications adhere to a uniform rate nationwide, established by the Ministry of Transport. Should you encounter a taxi service within an application that imposes fares deviating from the legally mandated standards, you have the option to file complaints through the 24/7 hotline at 1584.”

 

Somchart also shared the revised fare structure for taxis that operate via ride-hailing apps, which is published by the Government Gazette to inform people who use these systems.
