Taxi Drivers
New taxi toll stickers are issued through depots. Taxi owners are responsible for removing expired stickers and attaching 2 new stickers to the inside of their vehicle. It is your responsibility as the driver to ensure you operate a taxi with stickers displaying valid tolls as at 1 July 2014.
The increase in toll prices may warrant an increase in your top up amount or more regular top up. For the right tolls to be charged to your account, you are responsible for correctly installing your e-TAG® device into the e-TAG holder. Taxi owners are responsible to provide a holder and have it affixed correctly on the inside of the windscreen.
If you travel on CityLink or EastLink and your e-TAG is not detected, you may be issued with a Late Toll invoice or toll notice. This invoice includes tolls plus additional fees. To avoid any inconvenience and higher costs, we strongly recommend that your e-TAG is correctly installed and beeps each time you pass under a toll point.
