Here are a few things you may want to know about taxi fare rates, not just in the Tri-Valley and California, but wherever you may travel.
Taxi fares are calculated in various ways. Ideally a taxi driver may agree with you on a set price for travel from one place to another. Sometimes a taxi driver or taxi cab dispatch worker may be willing to negotiate a set or discounted price.
More frequently, taxi fares are charged based on use, time, and mileage. The moment you posterior hits the seat cushion of a taxi you are charged a use fee. This monetary amount varies and is commonly two to three dollars, but higher in tourist and densely populated metropolitan areas.
The cab use fee does not factor in distance traveled. This is a set fee that appears on the meter after the taxi driver turns it on. Usually, from there, the taxi fare calculation is based upon time and distance traveled.
Taxi and cab rates in the Bay Area are calculated like this due to the fact taxis cannot consistently take the same amount of time to get to a destination. Heavy traffic is normally always the culprit Therefore, cab companies charge per a set amount of minutes and/or even a per minute charge.
Normally you can expect taxi fares to charge both for minutes the taxi is used and for distance the taxi traveled. The meter normally charges about quarter or so per tenth of a mile. But if the cab ride takes longer than expected the charges per amount of minutes method will be used. If you have a short cab ride expect to pay both the use fee and the mileage fee. If the ride is long because of a parade, traffic jam, or accident you can expect a time fee will be incurred.
Your local taxi cab dispatcher should be able to help answer any questions you have about rates ... nowadays with Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps, for example, it's easy to predict what a taxi ride will cost in the East Bay and Contra Costa county.
