The taxicab meter is designed to calculate both
distance and wait time, but not simultaneously. When
the vehicle speed falls below a pre-determined speed
(approx. 11 miles per hour), the meter will begin to
calculate wait time. At this point, the meter will add
50 cents every 62 seconds to the total fare. Once the
vehicle reaches speeds above the pre-determined point,
the meter will again begin to calculate the fare based
on distance; 50 cents every 1/5 of a mile. This is why
you may see the fare amount increase even if you are
stopped in traffic and is considered normal.
