BRUNEI will launch a taxi meter system on September 23, a move that is expected to see passengers paying lower fares.
In a press conference at the Ministry of Communications yesterday, Land Transport Director Dr Supry Hj Ladi said the new system will ensure the existing 50 taxi drivers charge regulated and consistent fares.
The meter system will calculate the distance travelled, and the time spent to get from point A to B in the event of traffic congestion.
