Taxis charge extra for turning up on time

A cab company in Trondheim will guarantee that pre-booked taxis turn up on time. However, customers have to pay an extra NOK 50 (USD 9) for this service.

A cab company in Trondheim charges a supplement for turning up on time.

"Many people want to be sure that the taxi turns up on time and this is something they are willing to pay for. By offering this service people can ensure that they will arrive at their destination on time. The choice is up to the individual customer," says the head of TrønderTaxi, Lars Skrøvseth to news website Adressa.no.

The head of the competing cab company Norgestaxi, thinks that NOK 50 is a lot to pay for turning up on time, given that the average fare for a trip in Trondheim is NOK 150.

"The way I see it, the customer should be able to book a car ahead of time and it should turn up at the correct time, without the customer having to pay extra. The fare is what the trip should cost," he says.

AFTENPOSTEN!

It's an interesting system, and I suppose if we needed to catch a train or coach a little extra on the fare, to guarantee the cab arrives on time, would be something some folks might pay.

But I suspect many more wouldn't.
