What do people charge for taxi fares
elsewhere?
(Listing now includes approximate city population)
We get this question frequently
from people starting up new companies in areas where no cabs exist!
Here's what we have discovered... from records of sales in various locations.
For general comparisons only. Not all companies in a given area will use the same rates, and rates may well have
changed. (Where two or more
sets of rates are shown for a single location, we may have built different rates for
different clients, or special
multiple rates may have been specified by our clients.)
Always check local regulation. Do not assume our listings are current or official for your area.
Many have changed.
Many revisions have
followed gas increases and decreases!
