TAXIS -TAXICAB FARES AND FEES…
The Las Vegas
valley is serviced by sixteen taxicab companies.....
Las Vegas taxi fares have gone up again...starting Oct 1st...passengers
will pay $3.30 for the meter drop...average cab fare is about $11.50 per trip
according to the Taxicab Authority...my best guess as to the number of cabs in
Las Vegas is 2800...
"When you enter a taxicab,
the driver will start the taximeter (referred to as the “drop”) and an initial
charge of $3.30 will register. If a taxi ride originates at McCarran
International Airport, an additional airport surcharge of $1.20 per trip is
added to the taximeter. After the initial “drop”, the taximeter will assess a
fare of $2.00 per mile ($.25 for each 1/8th of a mile traveled). 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.
In the public meeting/hearing of the Taxicab Authority Board held on 26 May
2005, the Board ordered: “IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the temporary fuel surcharge
fully instituted on May 20, 2005, i.e., the increase in the additional mileage
rate charged after the $3.20 drop to $0.25 per 1/8 mile is altered and
re-characterized as a permanent rate increase.” details are from the
Nevada
Taxicab Authority website...check
there to be sure the rates have not changed again....they also have APPROXIMATE
MINIMUM FARES TO VARIOUS SOUTHERN NEVADA LOCATIONS…
