And if helps achieve that, it'd be a positive thing for consumers," Victorian Taxi Association chief executive David Samuel said.

The Victorian Taxi Association said giving taxi operators more flexibility over pricing would be a good thing.

"The charge would be separate to the standard maximum $2 booking fee - that is, it may apply in addition to a booking fee." "The peak booking charge would be capped at a maximum of up to $10 and only applicable for booked taxi trips commencing during times when the peak tariff maximum fares apply," the report said. The report said the charge would improve incentives for taxis to operate during peak times and would give incentives to improve the reliability of taxi booking services. The commission made the recommendation in its draft report, which was released on Tuesday evening. The Essential Services Commission has been reviewing taxi fares in Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo.
