Vegas Fuel Surcharge Permanent

LAS VEGAS -- A temporary 20-cent fuel surcharge approved by the Nevada Taxicab Authority in September has become permanent.

The authority board on Tuesday removed the fuel surcharge, but agreed to an equivalent rate increase of 20 cents per trip.

Cab customers will pay $3 on the "drop," the base charge all customers pay. The rate of $2.70 per mile will remain the same.

The board also agreed to allow Southern Nevada's 16 cab companies additional taxis on Clark County streets during the National Association of Broadcasters convention April 18-22. Board members approved 10 additional cabs per company April 18, eight per company on April 22 and between seven and 15 per company at various times of the day April 19-21.
