Actually, it can work backwards of this.

If you know the zone fares, you just get in, tell him where you are going, and pay the fare when you get out according to the chart. No asking, no giving him a chance to up the fare price. I found when we lived there we did this and saved a lot in taxi fares, versus when we would vacation there and just ask before getting in.

Louise, I know that Laura's maps have an updated fee schdule for the taxis.
