The Dunedin City Council has announced the trial of a new location for the central city taxi rank.

From tomorrow, the evening taxi rank will move from outside the Municipal Chambers and Civic Centre to the central lane of the Octagon.

The rank will operate between 7pm and 7am daily.

It'll revert to being a park for mobile traders and buses during the day, while the taxi rank returns to the Municipal Chambers.

Patron and driver safety is one of the reasons for the move.

The covered walkway will also provide shelter for those waiting for taxis.

The trial runs for three months.
