Maxi licences out

AN EXTRA ten Maxi Plus taxi plates have been made available by public tender.

Maxi Plus Taxis principally service the transport needs of people with disabilities, especially those using wheelchairs or scooters. MPTs also operate as standard taxis for individuals or groups.

Transport Minister Murray Criddle said the decision was based on the findings of a recent review which revealed no new MPT plates had been issued since 1995, yet demand had increased substantially.
