Verified city meter + airport guide

Brandon taxi rates and fare calculator.

Brandon has a City maximum metered tariff for trips within the City. Brandon Municipal Airport (YBR) sits about 1.6 km north of the City boundary, so TaxiRates keeps YBR airport pricing separate instead of extending the municipal meter beyond its stated scope.

Brandon city trips have a regulated maximum meter; YBR needs separate treatment.

The City tariff applies to metered trips commencing and terminating within Brandon. The airport is outside the City boundary, so an airport transfer is not automatically the same fare formula.

The Brandon maximum taxi tariff

Brandon’s current Tariff of Fares By-law sets the maximum metered taxi fare at $3.80 for the first 95 metres, then $0.20 for each additional 95 metres or fraction. Metered waiting is $0.10 for each 10 seconds or fraction, and the published tariff is inclusive of GST.

The Taxi By-law says flat-rate charging is not permitted for trips governed by the City tariff. TaxiRates therefore calculates ordinary Brandon-to-Brandon trips from the regulated meter and does not add a made-up flat fare or generic national per-kilometre estimate.

Why YBR is a guide instead of a city-meter total

Brandon Municipal Airport is City-owned but physically located about 1.6 kilometres north of the Brandon city limits. The City taxi by-law states that the metered tariff applies to trips commencing and terminating within the City, so TaxiRates does not automatically extend that tariff to YBR.

One local taxi operator currently advertises a typical Brandon-to-airport range of about $35 to $55. That is useful planning context, but it is an operator estimate rather than the City’s regulated YBR flat fare, so it stays clearly labeled as guidance.

Airport service

Brandon Municipal Airport today

YBR currently advertises daily WestJet Encore flights to Calgary, making airport ground transportation an important use case for the Westman region. Parking and rental-car options are also available at the airport.

For an airport taxi, passengers should confirm the current quoted amount with the taxi company. TaxiRates keeps the City meter visible as a regulatory reference while refusing to present it as a guaranteed YBR fare outside the City boundary.
