Sixteen taxicab
companies service the Las Vegas valley. When you enter a
taxicab, the driver will start the taximeter (referred
to as the “drop”) and an initial charge of $3.30 will
register. If a taxi ride originates at McCarran
International Airport, an additional airport surcharge
of $1.80 per trip is added to the taximeter. After the
initial “drop”, the taximeter will assess a fare of
$2.40 per mile ($.20 for each 1/12th of a mile
traveled). If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is
moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a
charge of $.20 (twenty cents) every 24 seconds ($30.00
per hour waiting time). That is why the taximeter
continues to accumulate charges even when the taxicab is
not moving. Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab
is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare
calculates on the actual distance traveled.
