Taxis Get Tougher on Fairness Rules

Victoria’s cracking down on unfair taxi drivers with new rules starting July 1st — two strikes and you’re out, now including refusing short fares or turning away passengers with service animals. The crackdown expands beyond fare-related offenses to cover meter tampering, no receipts, and more — all aimed at protecting vulnerable riders. By August, refusing ANY fare becomes a new offense, booking services must report misconduct, and audio recording becomes mandatory. A public register will expose disqualified drivers, stopping them from hopping between companies. It’s about holding bad actors accountable while letting good drivers keep doing their job.
