Taxi Fares - poor maths and false advertising.

I would expect a fare based on that leaflet of £6.85.

I agree.

First mile = £3.00
Next 3.5 miles = 3.5 x £1.10 = £3.85
Total = £6.85

But even if it was £1.20 per mile after the 2nd mile ...

First mile = £3.00
Second mile = £1.10
Next 2.5 miles = 2.5 x £1.20 = £3.00
Total = £7.10

So not even £8.00 never mind £8.50.

Using their maths it will be somewhere between £7.10 and £7.70 - quite a difference.

I'd be ringing trading standards and local radio (and telling the firm so as well).

I'd be phoning Carol Vordeman!

Contact your local council/licensing board and complain to them if the company arent interested.
