Abbotsford British Columbia Taxi Fares Explained
Taxis in Abbotsford run on metered fares set out in the Passenger Transportation Board's common rate rule for the Fraser Valley. The meter charges a flag rate when it is turned on, then a per-kilometre distance rate while moving. When traffic slows below the crossover speed, the meter switches to a per-second time rate instead of distance.
Fares are approved by the BC Passenger Transportation Board, and operators may only charge the posted common rates, not variable surge pricing. For example, a short ride within Abbotsford is built from the flag drop plus the distance covered, while waiting time accrues separately. The current common rates apply to all licensed taxi companies in the region, not individual firms.
