| If you're adventurous (and use good judgment), there's always another option at the airport, waiting for bags or standing in the long, winding taxi line: ask if anyone nearby is heading to the same destination, then split the fare. Cabs charge the same whether there's one rider or five. | |

*If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a charge of $.25 (twenty-five cents) every 41 seconds ($22.00 per hour waiting time). That is why the taximeter continues to accumulate charges even when the taxicab is not moving. Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare calculates on the actual distance traveled.
