Worked Examples

Example 1: Toronto Ride

For a 10 km ride in Toronto that takes 20 minutes:

Total Fare = $3.50 + (10 × $1.20) + (20 × $0.30) = $3.50 + $12.00 + $6.00 = $21.50

This example shows the breakdown of costs for a typical ride in Toronto.

Example 2: Ottawa Ride

For a 15 km ride in Ottawa that takes 30 minutes:

Total Fare = $4.00 + (15 × $1.10) + (30 × $0.35) = $4.00 + $16.50 + $10.50 = $31.00

This example demonstrates how the fare calculation works for a longer ride in Ottawa.
