Saskatoon airport cab fee to be added to metered fare
CJ Dushinski, vice-president of business development and service quality for Skyxe, says the fee is competitive with other airports, and that Uber drivers also pay that fee. “I think the reason that it’s going before city council is that we’ve been kind of working with the city since the implementation of the trip fee since 2019, just to make sure things are consistent and transparent for all of our passengers and users, and taxi drivers and operators,” Dushinski said.
Matt Grazier, director of community standards with the city, says taxi operators have seen a number of rises in operational costs over the past few years, and passing on this fee to customers is a small step in alleviating some of those costs. “Out of the six or seven cities we looked at, we did find this being very common practice for other cities and their airports,” Grazier said.
