		<description><![CDATA[Taxi fares in London are set to rise by 2.3 per cent after Transport for London’s (TfL) Board today agreed the need to ensure drivers were able to meet rising costs. TfL say the increase "aims to find a balance between maintaining income levels for drivers, who face disproportionately higher costs in order to work than average Londoners, while ensuring passengers still get a fair price" and is the lowest increase since 2004.
