The fare for NYC is incorrect -- $2.50 is the base price and $0.505/mile and $0.50/minute the car is stopped (i.e. in traffic if they're waiting). There's also a $1 surchage between 4-8pm on the weekdays. http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/passenger/taxicab_rate.shtm...

Sorry, I was going off "Plus 50 cents per 1/5 mile" to mean $2.50 per mile. Where are you getting $0.505/mile from your link?

Lol I read that completely wrong. Time for more coffee, I suppose -- that definitely means $2.50/mile.
