都内タクシー、初乗り５００円　国交省が値上げ案、１１月にも

　内閣府消費者委員会は９日、東京都内のタクシー運賃値上げに関する国土交通省の案を受理したと発表した。初乗り料金の上限を５００円に引き上げ、加算運賃を１００円刻みとする。運転手の処遇改善や、燃料価格高騰の負担軽減が狙い。実現すれば、消費税増税時を除き２００７年以来、１５年ぶりの値上げ。政府内の協議を経て、早ければ１１月に実施される見通しだ。
　対象は東京２３区と武蔵野市、三鷹市の事業者。改定率は約１４％で、１９８９年以降では最大。初乗りの上限運賃は現在の１０５２メートル４２０円から１０９６メートル５００円、加算運賃は２３３メートルごとに８０円から２５５メートルごとに１００円へ引き上げられる。（2022/08/09-17:04）

Japan's Consumer Commission said Tuesday that it has accepted a transport ministry plan to raise taxi fares in Tokyo, in order to improve taxi drivers' work conditions and help cover rising fuel costs.
   Taxi fares will rise for the first time since 2007, other than at times when the consumption tax was raised.
   The ministry plan is expected to be implemented as early as November, after consultations within the government.
   The plan calls for revising the maximum starting fare from the current 420 yen for 1,052 meters to 500 yen for 1,096 meters and the additional fare from 80 yen per 233 meters to 100 yen per 255 meters.
   The revisions are designed to raise overall taxi fares by about 14 pct, the largest increase since 1989.
