New flag fall, per kilometre and minute charges will apply for three distinct periods - day (9am-5pm), overnight (5pm-9am) and peak (10pm-4am overnight Friday and Saturday).
The taxi flagfall - the cost of starting the meter - will rise by between $1 and $3, from the current $3.20 flagfall to $4.20 in the day, $5.20 overnight and $6.20 in the peak.
Late-night revellers across Melbourne can expect to pay around an extra $5.40 for a 5km ride home (total cost $19) during the peak, or an extra $20 for a 40km trip (total cost $98).
By comparison, a 40-kilometre trip during the day will rise just 1.5 per cent - or about $1.23.

Don't worry, real bargainers would never use a cab.
