Formula Used

The London Ontario Taxi Fares Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the estimated fare:

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

Where:

  • Base Fare is the initial charge for the taxi ride.
  • Distance is the total kilometers traveled.
  • Distance Rate is the cost per kilometer.
  • Time is the total minutes spent in the taxi.
  • Time Rate is the cost per minute.

The base fare, distance rate, and time rate vary depending on the time of day.

Assumptions

The calculator makes the following assumptions:

  • Standard London taxi fare rates apply.
  • Peak hours are defined as 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
  • Off-peak hours are all other times.
  • Fares are estimated and may vary based on actual conditions.

For the most accurate fare, always confirm with your taxi service before your trip.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the fare for a 10 km trip during peak hours:

Fare = $3.50 (Base Fare) + (10 km × $1.20/km) + (20 min × $0.30/min) Fare = $3.50 + $12.00 + $6.00 Fare = $21.50

The estimated fare for this trip is $21.50.
