Die Taxiunternehmen in Kagoshima versuchen, den Fahrermangel durch Lohnerhöhungen zu lindern, aber die Kunden sind mit den Preiserhöhungen nicht zufrieden. „Wenn der Grundpreis 770 Yen beträgt, verwende ich sie möglicherweise nicht mehr … sogar eine Erhöhung um 70 Yen summiert sich.“

It’s a noticeable hit when so few other people are getting raises. You either raise salaries and prices across the board, or accept cheap labour from overseas. There’s not a whole lot of middle ground that doesn’t involve companies going under. If you’re one of the locals bitching about immigration, surely you choose the 70 yen.
Just raise it
If fewer people use it, then that relieves the shortage, doesn’t it?
I may be the odd one out here but to me getting a taxi has always been the luxury option of public transport. That price increase really doesn’t make a difference to that view in my mind.
Japan is like 50% old people who are one license renewal away from not being able to drive anymore. They will complain about the 70yen, but they will have to use the service no matter what.
Maybe if they cancelled one of their many subscriptions to placebo health supplements they bought from TV infomercials, they could afford the taxi.
