- Topic Taxis & Cabs (ver. 1.0)
- Wiki content Taxis are to be found throughout San Francisco, though they can be difficult to hail from the street outside of the main downtown area, and are relatively expensive. Cab fares start at $2.85; each mile traveled is an additional $2.25 (billed in 1/5th mile increments at $0.45), waiting time is $0.45/minute, and a $2.00 surcharge is applied for trips from San Francisco International Airport. Trips of more than 15 miles from the city limits or from the airport and not in the direction of the city are billed at 150% of the rate indicated on the taxi's meter. Taxi drivers cannot surcharge for luggage, nor can they refuse you transportation, even if you only want to go two blocks, unless you appear to pose a threat to the driver. Most in town trips cost less than $10, but trips all the way across town cost more than $20. Fares between downtown and the airport average $35-40. As in all cities, taxis congregate at major hotels, airports and tourist centers. If you are in the vicinity of Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square or Market Street, a cab can be easily hailed. However, if you are in a more remote location, ask your hotel staff to contact one of the local taxi companies and arrange for a pick-up (a complete list of San Francisco taxicab companies with their phone numbers, prepared by the San Francisco Taxicab Commission can be found here). <br />
