Taxi pricing is largely identical across all companies at $2.80
flagfall, which lasts you 1 km before increments of 20 cents per
385 m. Watch out for surprises
though: there are a myriad of peak hour (35%), late night
(50%), central business district ($3), phone booking ($2.50 and
up), public holiday ($1) and Electronic Road Pricing surcharges,
which may add a substantial amount to your taxi fare. All such
charges are shown on the bottom right-hard corner of the meter,
recorded in the printed receipt and explained in tedious detail in a sticker on the
window; if you suspect the cabbie is trying to pull a fast
one, call the company and ask for an explanation.
WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
