Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to bring the yellow cab taxis under rules and regulations and directed installation of meters in them within a month.
In this regard, the KP Directorate of Transport and Mass Transit has issued a notification.
The government instructed all yellow cab taxis to install fare meters equipped with receipt printers subject to the fixation of fares notified by the respective regional transport authorities.
The measure will help to calculate the fare corresponding to the distance covered which will help to end the practice of charging exorbitant fares demanded during different times of the day.
All yellow cab taxis have been directed to install the meters within a month and there will be a complete ban on running the service sans fare meters after the deadline.
