A TAXI fare price hike could put women at risk as they would have to walk home late at night, an MSP has argued.
Kezia Dugdale, a Labour MSP and Shadow Youth Employment Minister, has spoken out against the price hike in Edinburgh, saying that it could lead to more women opting to walk home alone when they are “at their most vulnerable”.
The current baseline fee for night-time taxis in Edinburgh is £3, but the new fares will result in the base fee jump up to £4.60 between midnight and 5 am throughout the week.

PLEASE DON’T THINK ALL WOMEN ARE STUPID. YOU SHOULD OBVIOUSLY LAY ASIDE YOUR FARE FOR GETTING HOME, NOT ALLOWING YOURSELF THE DANGER OF WALKING.
