How much is a 20 Minute Taxi Ride

00 $. On his website Uber warned that New Year's Eve customers should not be surprised by surge pricing due to the high holiday demand. Think about tipping 20% or more for these types of trips. Can' complain, you'll get an average of $17-20 an hour if you get those rides all the time. How high are the taxi fares in Hong Kong compared to the prices of the over trips?

500 bucks for a 20-minute taxi ride?

On his website Uber warns that New Year's Eve consumers should not be taken by surprise by the "'' surfeit pricing'' due to the high vacation demands. UBER: What is a price increase? Perhaps "shocked" is more for those who end up having paid almost 10 x the regular price for a ride.

Über is defending rising prices this year, just as in the past, and notes that it is the easy economy of offer and ask that is pushing prices. On New Year's Eve, if you were an over-user, the price of a ride would depend on where you were. Drivers in the San Francisco Bay area told us that the price increases started well after 12 p.m. and were not much more than twice as high.

Look at the grievances of drivers in other cities:

What is the duration of an ordinary crossing (or a normal taxi ride)?

In my opinion, there are usually three kinds of trips. 4-8min/3mi - These trips usually deserve the minimal amount, which is around $2.62. But if you are unfortunate and constantly get these trips, you will pay about $10-13 per hours on avarage. It' 13-20min/5-10mi - These trips are a bit ok, it's probably what you'll achieve the most.

Can' t blame me, you'll get an hourly $17-20 on avarage if you get those trips through. It' probably about 10 minutes or so. Posting my monthly income on The Uber Thing so you can get an impression of how it can be made consistent and how to do it.

Meaning that half more and half less are meaningless, I would say more like ten inches. Many tariffs are only a few moments long. For me an optimal eight to ten hour drive is about two third of the fare in the mid to small area, from the rest there's maybe half a dozen in the bigger mid area (10-20 minutes) and then maybe two or three (if I'm lucky) in the longer 20-40 minute area, but that's what I call a good night. What I call a good day's ride is about two in three.

The majority of nightly tariffs are a mixture of small tariffs and some of the longer average tariffs. When I drove my taxi, I kept records of every ticket price (both the counter value and the tip amount) I ever took. Based on my metre rate and pre-tip tariffs, I was able to estimate the distances for each trip and perform an analyse.

I have a ticks device that is time-based (slow and idle traffic), so this is not perfect, but it is quite near. I made 403 trips in about 3 month. Out of these rates, 27% were between 0 and 1.5 mile, 24% between 1.5 and 3 mile, 18% between 3 and 5 mile, 18% between 5 and 10 mile, 8% between 10 and 15 mile and 5% longer than 15 mile.

Longest journey I ever made was 49 mph. Intermediate mileage was 3 mile, while intermediate mileage was 5 mile.
