About Taxi Driver Association
Built by Drivers,
The Australian Taxi Drivers Association — standing beside every driver since 1991. Protecting incomes, demanding safer roads, and holding government accountable.
"Sydney taxi drivers cannot survive on $12 an hour. We are not asking for charity — we are asking for a fare structure that keeps pace with the real cost of working in this city."
