1 April 2006 - Fees for Access to 131008

At the Annual Breakfast hosted by Taxi 131-008 Limited in Perth during the current Australian Taxi Industry Association National Conference, the Chairman of the company, Garrie Woolford, announced that commencing 1 July, 2006 the fees paid by taxi services for access to 131 008 will be reduced by fifty per cent (50%). Licensees can immediately, and safely, make allowance for that huge fee reduction in their 2006-07 budget preparations. The reductions will take effect on and from 1 July 2006.

Confirmation of these fee reductions will be notified in writing by the company to each Licensee; those notifications will be dispatched separately to each Licensee before 30 April next.

Additionally Taxi 131-008 Limited is in the process of reviewing financial strategies with the objective of placing our participating taxi services in a more powerful position to confront the financial challenges associated with the efficient operation of their taxi services throughout Australia. That board review will involve:-

  • the establishment of a Taxi 131-008 Limited fund to enable the company to assist those of our licensees that operate in strategic taxi markets to more effectively meet prospective and actual  threats to 131 008 posed by more financially powerful competitors and otherwise, and

  • the re-introduction of a conditions based Volume Call discount - available to those taxi services generating the very highest 131 008 call volumes.

Further information on these additional initiatives will be circulated to the 131 008 network as the board completes its strategic planning.

131 008 – demonstrating its gratitude for your support of this National Service.
