Cobourg Council has approved a $1 Fuel Surcharge fee for local taxicabs.
Councillor Aaron Burchat who was to read-in the by-law, asked to be excused on the grounds that he doesn’t support it.
The Fuel Surcharge will be in effect for seven months or until gas prices drop below 1-fourty per litre.
Council has committed to review the by-law when either of these conditions have been met.
While it wasn’t made clear when this surcharge will come into effect, you can expect with the by-law passed it won’t be long.
The by-law was passed without discussion.
