The base fare, per kilometer rate, and per minute rate vary depending on the vehicle type selected. These rates are based on current London, Ontario taxi fare structures.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you need to travel 10 kilometers in a standard taxi that takes 20 minutes.

Enter 10 in the "Distance" field.
Select "Standard Taxi" from the vehicle type dropdown.
Enter 20 in the "Time" field.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will use the following values for a standard taxi:

Base Fare: $3.50
Per Kilometer Rate: $1.50
Per Minute Rate: $0.30

Plugging these into the formula:

Calculation Example

Estimated Fare = $3.50 + (10 × $1.50) + (20 × $0.30)

Estimated Fare = $3.50 + $15.00 + $6.00

Estimated Fare = $24.50

The calculator will display an estimated fare of $24.50 for this trip.
