Plans to increase taxi fares in Fenland District have been put on hold after concerns were raised by drivers and residents.
A decision on the proposed fare hikes was deferred by councillors at a recent meeting to allow for further discussions with the taxi industry.
The proposed increases included a 5% rise for the first two miles of a journey from £4 per mile to £4.20, and a 50% increase for subsequent miles from £2.20 per mile to £3.30.
Councillor David Patrick, who is also a taxi driver, argued that the increases were "unreasonable" and could lead to job losses.
He expressed concerns about the impact on residents, particularly those in rural areas with limited bus services.
However, Samantha Hoy, the council's portfolio holder for licensing, disagreed with Mr Patrick's analysis, stating that the proposed increases were reasonable.
The various concerns raised were included in the report given to councillors.
