Where I live a 3 mile journey is Β£4, but then it takes 6 minutes LOL. It's the time it takes hun. That is why its double or even triple the fare in London.quote:Originally posted by PinkBabe1966:
I'm amazed that taxi fares cost that much in London!! Glad I live near the Second City. (apart from having to admit Lisa comes from the same area!!).
I asked my husband who is a private hire driver (minicab driver) how much he would charge for a two mile journey and it was just over a fiver, but private hire charge on mileage, and I expect rates are a lot different in London.
It CAN take up to half hour to do that journey in Londinium ..
