Total Mobility

How will my Total Mobility trips be cheaper?

During the half price fare period, the majority of Total Mobility customers will pay half their usual share for Total Mobility taxi trips.

The maximum Total Mobility subsidy amount will be $60 per trip.

Will this change how I use my Total Mobility card? 

There is no change to the way your Total Mobility card is used. You must give your card to the driver at the start of each trip, or you will be charged the full fare.  

There is also no change to the Customer Terms & Conditions [PDF, 208 KB]. You can read the Terms and Conditions on our website, or we can send you a printed copy via the Contact Centre.

You can continue using your Total Mobility card to get the Accessible Concession on Metlink public transport services.

How long will Total Mobility fares be cheaper for?

Total Mobility customers will pay cheaper fares for their Total Mobility taxi trips from 1 April to 30 June 2023. 

We hope you enjoy the cheaper fares. We are working hard to manage our public transport as we navigate through the pandemic. Our services may be impacted by COVID-19, so it is always a good idea to call ahead to check taxi availability or use our Metlink website before using public transport.
