Formula Used
The Ontario Taxi Fare Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total fare:
Total Fare = Base Fare + (Distance × Distance Rate) + (Time in Traffic × Time Rate) + (Waiting Time × Waiting Rate)
Where:
- Base Fare: The initial charge for the taxi ride (typically $3.50 in Ontario).
- Distance: The distance of the trip in kilometers.
- Distance Rate: The cost per kilometer (typically $1.75/km in Ontario).
- Time in Traffic: The time spent in traffic in minutes.
- Time Rate: The cost per minute in traffic (typically $0.30/min in Ontario).
- Waiting Time: The waiting time in minutes.
- Waiting Rate: The cost per minute for waiting time (typically $0.30/min in Ontario).
The calculator uses these standard Ontario taxi fare rates as default values. You can adjust these values if you know the specific rates for your taxi company.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the fare for a trip that is 10 kilometers long, with 5 minutes in traffic and 2 minutes of waiting time.
Total Fare = $3.50 + (10 × $1.75) + (5 × $0.30) + (2 × $0.30)
Total Fare = $3.50 + $17.50 + $1.50 + $0.60 = $23.10
So, the estimated fare for this trip would be $23.10.
