Taxi Fare Calculation Methods
A. Zone System
The Zone System simplifies taxi fares by dividing a city into different zones, each with a predetermined price for travel between them. This approach eliminates the need to constantly monitor the meter during your ride.
For instance, if you're taking a taxi from Zone 1 to Zone 2, the fare will be the same, whether you're traveling a short distance within the zones or from one edge to another.
However, it's crucial to be aware of potential additional charges, such as tolls, extra passenger fees, or fees for luggage, which may apply depending on your ride.
The Taxi Meter System is the most commonly used method for calculating fares. It relies on a meter in the cab that tracks your ride and determines the fare based on three key factors:
Initial Fee: This is a flat fee charged at the start of every taxi ride. It varies but is typically a few dollars and doesn't account for any distance.
Cost per Mile/Kilometer: You're charged a set amount
