how important the price of the city taxi to deal with?

I think the only people that it would really matter to is the people who are paying for it. I think in most cases if the price were too high they would just find other means of transportation and if the companies had a problem with the high prices and it were affecting them they would just create a shuttle system that would suit them better and in most cases they already have them.

As much as your ready to spend. I've seen $2000 cars go out in the first heat while a $300 dollar car wins the night. the car its self is going to be the big price factor all the other stuff that you have to have too run its just stuff you or someone you know sould have laying around. My 83 ltd cost me $800 car and parts. its a 3 demo winner.

Take a motor mechanic with you, if you know one. If not ask around until you find one. I would avoid the imported ones as they tend to have higher prices on spare parts. \n\nAlso, shop around as there plenty of second hand vehicles to choose from and dont be backwards about bartering for a cheaper price with the sales people.

It depends on where you live.  If it's a big city, anywhere between $50 and $100 for an hour is common, if it's a smaller town it may be more affordable.

Tipping is definitely something to do if you receive good service. If you feel the driver has done well and taken care of you, tip him. If not, tip him anyways, and you may get better service in the future. Is this someone you see regularly or is there a different driver each time? There are so many variables. Use your best judgement. Tipping will never hurt though...only help.

If you get a limo you are not supposed to be cheap.  20% is cheap.  Tip no less than 30%, and 40% is standard.

How about a clean smelling cabby? Often times you get in the cab and the driver has poor hygiene. Ethnicity doesn't matter.\n\nAlso, an easy to understand price schedule.\n\nAnd air conditioning of course.

i hope not. it would screw small busness who get charged a standerd rate for card charges. pluss how would you pay taxi drivers? or the plumber who tightens a nut and call it £3 for the petrol.

Why a limo?  Why not just go to the park and tell a bunch of homeless that the first one there gets a case of Mad Dog.  That would cost about $20.

You aren't far off from the figures I hear directly from people that  have done it.  Also, there is kind of a scale.  Something like $1000 to walk the whole way, $1500 to walk across and then get a ride into San Diego or LA, and then $2000 and up to get a ride to your final destination if it's farther north.   Carrying a kilo of coke or weed on you while you make the crossing isn't an uncommon requirement either.

To put simply, they regulate the taxi and limo business in NYC. They make sure that all yellow taxis have a medallion(business lisence) and things like that.

I can negotiate with a cab driver to take less money for airport to my home!!!!

If you're going to do a strike, maybe you should also contact taxi drivers too, if they have to buy their own gas (that's how it works in China, anyway). That'd really get the attention in a dramatic way of city-based bureaucrats and business-leaders.

first, learn to convert qustions into simple english.\n#2. Find your target group, Taxicab users. Ask them politely to answer a few questions while waiting for a cab. Make the questions specific. "would you pay $1 more for a ride, if you only had to wait 5 minutes"? How you phrase the questions is verrrry important.\nMIKE

Think about this logically--Youre on the computer playing and you can check out prices and locations to buy or have them sent to your home, maybe at a shipping cost. Or maybe free. Now I am thinking this must be for a car ?? If so you are at home with the local phone book, look up parts places, get your information together, ( data on car)call them all, compare prices and go buy one, provided you are in an area where there are parts stores. My little town has only about 5 and all the prices are different. So I manage to save money this way. No going thru different  web sights, being thrown from here to there and about 1 hour later you may have a couple prices. I could go on but I won't.  Happy Shopping !

LMAO!!! That $2.81 qualification, is hilarious!!! Please, it's sooo not immoral, "just" illegal.  I say if you're bold enough to get over there and get your solitary carpool on, go for it.  LOL It's not going to bother me in the slightest if I'm in the carpool lane legally - do your thing if you don't mind the points on your license and the exorbitant fees!!! And you know if you get caught twice and/or three times, the penalties and fees get steeper and steeper, and the points on your license add up to higher car insurance rates... so you might want to recalculate that $2.81.  *shrug* Just a thought.
