The Taxi Organizations representatives enquired about a rate change that has long been promised but has not materialized.
The Cabinet gave the leaders the assurance that come May 15, 2021, those rate changes will apply.
Information Minister Melford Nicholas explains how this will work
The new rates affect only those in the tourism sector and do not apply to the local rates.
The leaders were very pleased with the assurances, and left the meeting satisfied that their interests have been addressed.

So when I fly back into Antigua, my residence and home, and citizen, at the airport, do I pay local or tourism rate?
Why the first thing with people who live abroad is to ask hard working Antiguans for discounts. Do Antiguans come abroad to your work place and ask for discounts ?
“A Me ” or whatever you call yourself maybe Mary wouldn’t answer you but I will .
They wanted to raise the fare a couple months back so a 5 seater car would only be allowed to carry 4 passengers so , I guess a family of 5 would have to pay for an additional car . The cars are 5 seaters for a reason maybe they should make and send 4 seater cars only to Àntigua .
A couple months ago on this very forum I read Taxi drivers inquired about raising the RATE BECAUSE OF COVID RISK .
YOU think WHEN I GO TO WORK IN NYC MY BOSS GIVES ME MORE MONEY JUST TO COME IN .
There’s a restaurant on the beach don’t remember the name but they’re charging resident and Visitor’s two different prices .
My family that lives in Àntigua went to order food BECAUSE IF THEY HEAR AN ACCENT OR SUSPECT THAT YOU DON’T LIVE IN ÀNTIGUA THEY CHARGE MORE .
A rental car I drove had a flat and the business on Old Pahramn charge me 5 dollars more just to plug it .
My family wanted to go and ask him why but i insist not to bother BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THE REASON WHY .
WHEN I HAVE TO GO TO WORK FOR 6 AM IN SLEET , SNOW , SNOW STORM RAIN AND HEATWAVE I DON’T LIKE TO BE SWINDLED AND HOODWINKED WITH MY MONEY .
I do not live abroad, I live in Antigua, but will be taking a holiday soon.
You make incorrect assumption
Are individuals allowed to pick up at the airport yet?
@Mary. Excellent Question.
Especially as I’ve observed and been told by passengers, of many taxi drivers lowering mask once they leave the airport roundabout, offer passengers AC, off-load & accept money with mask down or off.
So, I understand people would feel safer being picked up by a close relative AND not paying big dollars for what exactly?
No it is not allowed only certified taxi.
Follow what is love and truth, do not hate. G really loves you, pls be safe and get both doses of the vaccine, after 2 weeks of the 2nd dose you are vaccinated fully. Eat + exercise healthy to avoid clots please use a mask even with the vaccine to be ok. Others and I also love you! Luke,14 Forsake all you have everyone and yourself for J
Luke,16 Work for J, not pay$, then J will give you and your family the food and clothing if they follow too
Matthew,25 + Luke,12+6 Sell everything and give to poor and keep all giving in secret
Mark,16 + John,17 Share the Truth to everyone working with others in love and peace
Revelation,13+14 Don’t take the mark of the beast right hand or forehead only way to buy or sell *Is not covid vaccine or mask, but maybe a microimplant or quantum technology
Revelation,17+18 U.S. Is most likely the Babylon to be destroyed in one hour, with fire
You damn right, relatives and friends should be allowed to collect and drop you off at the airport. Anything else would be plain stupid. The airport belongs to the people of Antigua, not taxi drivers.
As I understand, allowed drop off but not pick up.
