Ballina Shire - Taxis

Taxis provide greater flexibility in meeting the needs of individual travellers and are often faster than other forms of public transport. There are three ways to catch a taxi:

  • Hail a cab on the street.  Vacant taxis have an orange roof light illuminated. Hail the taxi where there is enough room at the kerb for the driver to stop safely to pick you up
  • Wait at a taxi rank. There are taxi ranks located in the major towns at railway stations, shopping centres etc
  • Phone a taxi.  You can phone for a taxi to pick you up by dialing 131 008 or the phone number of the company closest to you.  If you have any special needs, tell the network when you make the booking.  Phone bookings may attract a service charge.
NOTE: If you need change from $50 or more tell the driver when you start the journey.
