The Council Cabs program makes taxi transport more accessible by subsidising fares for eligible passengers. It operates on a weekly basis in Toowoomba. In some areas, the Council Cabs program is available twice a week.
The Council Cab will pick you up from your home and take you to your local shopping centre. They’ll also take you back home once you’re finished shopping. Each one-way trip costs $2.50. This fare is paid to the driver at the start of the trip.
Black & White Cabs is proud to work with Toowoomba Regional Council on the Council Cabs program. All Council Cabs now honour the Queensland Government Companion Card, which permits free travel for anyone accompanying a person with a disability who requires care and support.
