Taxi Services
The total cost depends on the distance traveled and time spent in the cab. Taxi fares are $2.50 for the first 1/3 mile, then $0.40 each 1/5 of a mile thereafter and $0.40 per 120 seconds when cab is not moving; a $0.50 night surcharge is in effect between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.; a $1 surcharge is in effect from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays (not including holidays). Any bridge or tunnel tolls will be added to the total charge; drivers might ask that you pay the tolls as you go through them. Taxi drivers are usually given a 15-percent gratuity on top of the final metered fare.
