This is not the case in Glasgow anymore. There are no extra charges for additional passengers. The price is the same for 1 passenger or 6.
The minimum fare is £4 for half a mile and goes up in increments of 30p through a combination of time and distance. (Roughly £2.70 a mile after the the first 0.5 of a mile)
The only extra charges are £1.40 between 23:00 and 06:00 hours - this is automatically added to the minimum fare so the meter starts at £5.40 rather than £4.
An extra charge on christmas and new years day (I think £2.20 off the top of my head.)
And £42 if you hit a whitey in the taxi |
