Multiple Taxi Services To Remain At Maine Airport
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) ―
The Portland Jetport is abandoning a plan to grant exclusive rights to one tax company for five years.
Jetport officials raised the idea in September as a way to streamline tax service, but WMTW-TV reports that the airport instead is revamping the current system to allow dozens of independent drivers to continue their work.
Starting in January, the basic charge for using a taxi will increase $1.50 to $6.50. The money will be used to provide a GPS unit for each tax and to establish a complaint hot line.
