How YFB taxi pricing works
Effective May 1, 2026, the City of Iqaluit increased the standard taxi fare from $9.50 to $9.75. The Elders fare remains $8.00, and children under 10 ride free when accompanied by an adult. The City says the adjustment applies throughout areas of Iqaluit where taxi tariffs are enforced, so TaxiRates treats supported local trips as a flat per-passenger fare rather than a distance-based meter.
Airport-specific context
The $9.75 result is the standard passenger fare, not the price for an entire vehicle carrying any number of people. Passenger-specific exemptions matter: an Elder uses the $8 rate, while an accompanied child under 10 rides free. For groups, TaxiRates explains those rules rather than multiplying automatically because the passenger mix is not collected in the basic route form.
Why TaxiRates keeps this rule separate
YFB is treated as its own airport context so the calculator can identify the correct local tariff, provider information and any special eligibility or transition rule without applying those conditions to unrelated trips in Iqaluit.

For trips that do not involve the airport, use the Iqaluit guide so airport-only facts do not clutter the local fare explanation.
