Tex's LNB Taxi Cab Supports the New 2012 Taxi Rates for Houston, Texas Approved by City Council

The time has come, is what Tex Bernhardt says about the Houston City Council Vote for Taxi Fare increases which passed on March 01, 2012 by a vote of 12 for and 1 against. The rate goes into immediate effect. The Council stated since there had been no rate increase in over 7 years one was due the hard working cabbies. Tex Bernhardt says the taxi drivers deserved a pay increase with gas prices ballooning.

Houston, TX, March 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Tex Bernhardt smiled when he heard the Houston City Council just approved a Taxi Fare & Rate Increase for the first time in over seven year. The new rate increase amounts to a 17% increase over the current taxicab rates in the Metro Houston area. The rates are effective immediately.
