The city of New York is full of yellow cars in rush hour especially seem to occupy every street. It's almost an icon of the Big Apple, are very comfortable to move in the city. Although I personally prefer the meters, taxis are ideal for night or when we are in a hurry.
For they know well what is the fee and how much they will leave your trip, we left some tips for catching a cab in New York.
To hail a taxi we should look to the light side. If it is off is that the taxi is busy and you are burning is free. If you have two lights on it that isout of service.
There are many pirate taxis in the city (especially in the area of an airport) and we must demand no excuses to use the stopwatch.
Many taxi drivers do not know the city very well or do not speak Spanish. It is best to write the address to which we turn in a paper, to avoid misunderstandings.
We hardly got into the taxi, the minimum fare is $ 2.50. From that $ 0.40 is added for every 300 meters or 1 minute. There are also charges that add to the end of the trip, for example, if you travel at rush hour plus $ 1 and if at night, $ 0.50. Also add $ 0.50 for taxes and you must consider that in general is left between 10 and 15% gratuity to the driver.
