I've spotted this Cab in the summer of 2006 in Salzburg, Austria. I wonder if it is being used in regular Taxi Service. In my hometown most Cabs are from Mercedes or Volkwagen Transporter. Since last month theire is a London taxi in service. Which is very rare.

I wonder which city has the most expensive taxi fare

It starts with $15HKD (about $2US) for the first 2km in Hong Kong (red taxi)

I have been to Salt Lake City and most taxis they use is are Chevy Caprices, Ford Crown Victorias, etc. That's common in the US.

superchan7 · August 31st, 2007, 01:32 AM

Tokyo, London, Seoul would be my guess as to some of the more expensive cities for taxi hire.

For a city with such status, Hong Kong taxis are fairly affordable. In fact, in groups of 3 or 4 it easily beats taking trains and buses.

I swear I saw a Bentley Taxi in Beverly Hills just one time pumping in a Gas Station. I am not sure if its a taxi though because its near a film studio but it has the usual Taxi label on its roof. It doesn't have passengers though and the driver is wearing an Armani

Too bad, I left my digital camera at home. I haven't seen one ever since.

Were I work it start with 3,80 euro, and then 1,90 euro per km

Jo · August 31st, 2007, 04:29 PM

Flagfall price according to a recent Wall Street Journal article

Kuala Lumpur $0.57
Manila $0.66
Bangkok $1.10 (first 2km included)
Shanghai $1.45
Singapore $1.63
Hong Kong $1.92
Seoul $2.03
Sydney $2.43
New York $2.50
Frankfurt $2.70
Rome $3.15
Brussels $3.27
London $4.38
Tokyo $5.63
Paris $7.02

But that's just the starting fee, and some taxis include a certain distance in that fee.

Hey is there a price difference between the MBZs and that other car (is that a smart or peugeot?)

It's not a sitcker, it's a medallion bolted onto the hood, it's effectively the license to operate a cab.
