A brief breakdown of taxi fares for those that don't know them.
There are two tariffs operating within the Dublin Taxi Meter Area
Tariff 1 This operates Mon to Sat 8am to 10pm
Tariff 2 this operates Mon to Sat 10pm to 8am and all day Sunday.
On tariff 1 the fare starts at 2.75 and this covers the first 5/9 of a mile, it then increases by 15cent for every ninth of a mile while the car is traveling at more than 7 miles per hour, if the car is traveling due to traffic at less than 7mph the fare increases by 15cent every 30seconds.
Tariff 2 operates under the same except the fare starts at 3.00 and increases by 20c for every ninth of a mile. and 30seconds while in traffic.
If there are more than 1 person traveling there is an extra 50cent per person.
If you phone for a taxi there is an extra charge of 1.50
I have posted this in order to educate people try and try prevent people being ripped off.
If you are not happy about the fare, Ask the driver for a receipt, make sure you take the taxi number which is displayed in the center of the roof sign and contact the Carriage Office on 6669850/6669851
Not all taxi driver are rip off merchants only a small minority.
