The D.C. Taxicab Commission announced Friday that with a recent drop in the price of gasoline, taxis will no longer tack on the extra buck they have for the past 16 months to cover fuel prices.

Over the past week, we’ve had a couple of readers telling us that taxis around town had been altering notices for the in-place $1 fuel surcharge, replacing the July 26 end date with November 12. A case of rogue cabbies? Nope, it’s above-board.

Planning to hop in a cab inside the District today? Better bring an extra buck — D.C. cabbies will be tacking on an extra dollar in fuel surcharge to fares beginning today.
