# The National Taxi Alliance says speculation about taxi fare increases is premature following the latest fuel price hike. Petrol prices have increased by one-rand-34-cents a litre, while diesel is up by between two-rand-93-cents and three-rand-14 cents, depending on the grade. NTA spokesperson Theo Malele says the increases have dealt a major blow to the taxi industry. He says fare adjustments must be carefully considered, warning that higher fares could drive passengers away. Industry leaders will meet to assess the impact.
