Formula Used

The London Ontario Cab Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your fare:

Total Fare = Base Fare + (Distance × Distance Rate) + (Time × Time Rate)

Distance Rate is the cost per kilometer traveled.
Time Rate is the cost per minute of travel time.

These rates may vary depending on the time of day and the type of cab service you choose.

Worked Example

Let's say you need to travel 10 kilometers in London, Ontario, during peak hours using a standard cab service. Here's how the calculation would work:

Base Fare: $3.50

Distance: 10 km

Distance Rate: $1.50 per km

Time: 20 minutes

Time Rate: $0.50 per minute

Total Fare: $3.50 + (10 × $1.50) + (20 × $0.50) = $3.50 + $15.00 + $10.00 = $28.50

This example shows that a 10-kilometer trip during peak hours would cost approximately $28.50 using a standard cab service.
