Verified municipal fare guide

Prince Albert taxi rates and fare guide.

Prince Albert publishes a taxi fare schedule with a $3.50 initial amount, $0.10 per additional 33 metres and a time component of $0.80 per minute. Separate outside-city rates are also published, so TaxiRates now calculates a route-based estimate from the published distance and trip-time schedule, while keeping actual meter time and waiting visible as variables.

Prince Albert publishes both city and outside-city taxi rules.

The municipal schedule combines distance and trip-time charges, and it separately lists $1.85/km for destinations outside City limits. TaxiRates preserves those distinctions instead of flattening them into one formula.

What Prince Albert regulates

Prince Albert’s Taxi Bylaw publishes a general city fare of $3.50 for the first 33 metres, $0.10 for each additional 33 metres and $0.80 for each additional minute of time while the taxi is on a trip, including waiting at the passenger’s request. GST is included in the prescribed fare.

The same schedule separately lists $1.85 per kilometre and $45 per hour of waiting for destinations outside City limits. Because the city schedule has both distance and trip-time components, TaxiRates now applies the published distance increments and route drive time to produce a practical official-tariff estimate. The physical meter can differ when actual elapsed time or passenger-requested waiting differs from the route service.

Airport taxis

Taxi access at Prince Albert Airport

The City’s YPA passenger page lists Checker & local transportation providers as taxi services providing transportation to the airport. The airport is roughly 7.8 kilometres from downtown Prince Albert and sits northeast of the urban area.

YPA is a City-operated airport. TaxiRates now treats YPA↔Prince Albert trips with the published city distance-and-time schedule and uses the separately published $1.85/km outside-city schedule when a Prince Albert/YPA-origin trip continues beyond the city context.

Using the guide

What a passenger can verify before riding

For a local Prince Albert trip, the posted taxi card should reflect the City schedule. For an airport or other outside-city trip, ask the dispatcher which published rule will be used before departure, especially where waiting or multiple stops are expected.

TaxiRates now calculates the published rule automatically. Treat the result as an official-tariff estimate rather than a fixed quote because actual trip time and qualifying waiting are measured by the taxi meter.
