Labrador City taxi rates and Wabush Airport fares.

How the Labrador City taxi meter works

Labrador City’s published Schedule F lists tax-inclusive taxi pricing. The meter starts at $6.10 and adds $0.10 for each 1/25 of a kilometre, which is equivalent to $2.50 per kilometre. Passenger-requested waiting while the taxi remains engaged is $0.66 per minute, shown in the schedule as $39.50 per hour. Because the distance increment is explicit, TaxiRates can use the road route to estimate ordinary local trips instead of falling back to a generic national taxi rate.

TaxiRates treats the waiting component conservatively. A map’s travel time is not automatically billable waiting time, so the calculator uses the distance schedule for a normal moving trip and leaves actual metered waiting to the real ride. That prevents a long traffic estimate from being converted into a fabricated waiting charge. The final taxi meter remains the transaction record for a local trip.

Labrador City to Wabush Airport (YWK)

The schedule publishes a $21 flat fare between the Labrador City main townsite and Wabush Airport. That gives TaxiRates a much stronger basis than estimating the airport trip from kilometres alone. When the pickup or destination is clearly YWK and the other endpoint is in the Labrador City main townsite, the calculator can return the published $21 amount directly rather than requesting a route and reconstructing the meter.

The same regional schedules also publish $25 between Harrie Lake Subdivision and the airport, $90 between Labrador City or Wabush and Fermont, and $140 to or from Mt. Wright. Those fares matter in Labrador West because airport and industrial travel often extends beyond a short municipal taxi trip. TaxiRates keeps these fixed cases separate from the ordinary meter so the user can see which pricing rule actually controls the trip.

Why Labrador City and Wabush share important fare context

Wabush Airport sits in the neighbouring Town of Wabush and serves both Wabush and Labrador City, as well as Fermont in Québec. Transport Canada lists CJ Cabs for airport ground transportation. The Town of Wabush taxi regulations publish the same $6.10 starting rate, $2.50-per-kilometre distance structure and key airport flat fares, which provides useful cross-checking for the Labrador West market.

That shared context does not mean every regional destination should be forced into a single fare formula. The $21 airport amount is a published flat fare, while a local urban trip uses the meter and certain longer industrial or cross-border routes have their own published amounts. TaxiRates selects the most specific verified rule first and only uses the meter when a fixed fare does not apply.

Planning local and regional taxi trips from Labrador City

For a local address-to-address trip, enter the exact pickup and destination so the calculator can use the road distance with the published meter. For YWK, Fermont, Mt. Wright or Harrie Lake, use the specific place name so the fixed-fare rule can be identified. If the requested destination is outside the published cases, contact the taxi company before travelling because long-distance northern routes can involve availability, weather and return-trip considerations that a meter formula alone cannot capture.

Wabush Airport is an important regional access point rather than merely a neighbourhood airport. The terminal serves Labrador West communities and travellers connecting to mining and industrial sites. That makes clear fare-rule selection particularly useful: a passenger should be able to distinguish a $21 published airport fare from a $140 published Mt. Wright fare without reading through a generic taxi article.
