For NSW, we set the maximal rates for ranking and tail taxi service operating in NSW. There is no regulation on the amount of tariffs for reserved service (including reserved taxi services), with the exception of taxi rides. An ordinance on fare (PDF, 90. 58 KB) was issued on 1 February 2018.

NSW Transport has found that the top prices will not be raised on 1 July 2018 and the present tariff regulations will continue to apply for the being. The most recent tariff changes included the cancellation of a reservation charge, the change to the $120 charge cleansing charge, the cancellation of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel Nordbound back tolls and the availability of taxi service companies to share the costs of the $1 passenger service charge plus 10 cent GST (total $1.10) with their customers.

Nominally high prices have not risen since 1 July 2014. A new set of point-to-point regulations (Taxis and Rental Vehicles) 2017 contains new regulations for the use of price calculating equipment (or counters) in taxi vehicles in NSW. The taxi companies, however, have until 1 November 2018 to make sure that they fulfil the new conditions, provided that their taxi cabs are currently equipped with taxi metres which fulfil all the conditions laid down in Annex 2 to the Passenger Transport Regulation 2007 in effect on 31 October 2017.

Guideline for the use of safety imaging equipment describes the standard for accessing, manipulating, storing and transmitting safety imaging footage from safety imaging equipment in taxi cabs. Taxicamera equipment that complied with the current regulations (PDF, 258. 51 KB) can still be used, but these new specs will allow more advanced technology to be used to substitute older equipment.

Point-to-Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016 (the Act) obliges Transport for NSW to establish, before March 31 of each year, the number of taxi fees to be charged annually from the following July 1. When determining licenses, Transport for NSW must take into account the elements described in Section 73 of the Act, including:

Probable ridership request and deferred request for taxi service. Service of existent taxi service. Requests for new taxi licenses. Future prospects and sustainable development of the taxi business. All other issues that transport may consider to be of relevance to NSW, taking into account the aim of providing an enhanced taxi service. In the meantime, only substitute licenses will be granted and the total number of taxi licenses in Sydney will not rise during this period.

On 23 March 2018, two observations were made concerning the number of taxi fees to be paid in Sydney and outside Sydney for the year beginning 1 July 2018. Pursuant to the Point to Point Transport (Taxi and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016, Transport for NSW determines the category of taxi licenses that may be provided by the Point to Point Transport Commissioner and also determines the license fees for a tax license that is suitable for wheelchairs.

Transport Ministers may refer an inquiry and a recommendation to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) regarding the number of taxi fees to be charged for a given duration and the top prices for taxi service to be recommended. Earlier IPART Reviews on the determination of taxilices are available on the IPART website.

As soon as Transport for NSW has established the number and nature of taxi charges to be approved in a given amount of time, the Point to Point Transport Commissioner will issue a call for bids for taxi charges in accordance with the Point to Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016. Further information on taxi fee calls can be found on the Commissioner's website.
