How the fare is made up under the Houston taxi rate:
The Houston taxi tariff provides a clear way to calculate the cost of a taxi ride. The fare is based on the time of day, the distance traveled, and any waiting time during the trip. The tariff makes it simple for passengers to understand what they will pay.
From 6:00 am to 8:00 pm, the day tariff applies. Under this tariff, every taxi ride begins with a base fare of $2.91. Every kilometer after the initial base fare costs $1.44. If the taxi has to wait during the trip, for example at a traffic light or if requested by the passenger, a waiting time fee of $24.00 per hour is charged.
From 8:00 pm to 6:00 am, the night tariff comes into effect. During these hours, the base fare for starting a ride is $3.91. The price per kilometer remains the same as during the day, at $1.44 per kilometer. The fee for waiting time also remains $24.00 per hour.
In summary, the Houston taxi tariff calculates your fare based on the base fare, the distance you travel, and any waiting time that occurs. Knowing these rates can help passengers estimate the final cost of their taxi journey before they travel.
