Taximeter tariff has been increased in Alanya. The opening fee, the fee per kilometer, the waiting fee hour and the hop-on-hop-off fee have been increased and updated.
Making a statement on the subject, Alanya Chamber of Drivers President Ali Akkaya said, "Although we do not want to give a raise at all, due to the increasing costs of our Taxi Drivers, our esteemed Union President visited our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Muhittin Böcek under the chairmanship of Adlıhan Dere; Price adjustments have been made so that both the transporter and the carrier will not suffer, and the adjustments will be made by the relevant companies, effective from May 15th. Taximeter opening fee was determined as 25 TL, Km Fee was determined as 37.50 TL, 3 TL for every hundred meters, and short distance fee was determined as 130 TL. We would like to thank our esteemed Union President Adlıhan Dere and our Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Muhittin Böcek for their unwavering support from our tradesmen. "I wish good luck to our tradesmen," he said.
On the other hand, Mayor Akkaya, who made statements on his social media account to some taxi drivers who did not find the increase sufficient, compared to previous years, said: "Dear friends, I see some comments saying that inflation has been 60 percent since last May, we have made less raises, and complaints about hop-on-hop-off rates are being expressed. First of all, let's look at the taximeter price last year (May 2023); opening 10 TL, km. It was 16 TL, hop-on hop-off was 45 TL. What will happen now, opening is 25 TL, km. 37.50 TL, hop on hop off 130 TL. So what happened to the one-year taximeter increase? This means an increase of 150 percent in opening, 135 percent in km, and 290 percent in ride. Dear friends, this adjustment will be the 6th taximeter adjustment since we took office on March 19, 2022. Actually, I didn't want to write about these issues here, but it seems we forgot. On the other hand, let me also write you the taximeter tariff when we take office on March 19, 2022. Opening: 7 TL, km. It was 8 TL, hop-on hop-off was 20 TL. Calculate the 2-year increase here. In addition, the diesel price on March 19, 2022 was 20.92 TL. Now it's 41 lira. "There has been a 97 percent increase in 2 years," he said.
