In New York all licensed taxis are yellow and have the word
"NYC TAXI" on the door. Only yellow taxis can stop for riders
hailing from the street. You pay the amount shown on the taximeter,
plus any tolls. The meter should start at $2, then increase
30 cents for every 1/5 of mile, or 30 cents for every 90 seconds
while you are in slow traffic or stopped. There is an extra
50 cents charge per trip between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There is
no per-passenger or baggage charge. All meters are required
to give receipts. We encourage you to keep this receipt; it
will help you if you need to find lost property or file a complaint.
Tipping for good service is customary, about 15% to 20%.
