Taxi fares are set by the state and city where they are permitted to operate. The fare includes the 'drop', a set amount that is tallied for getting into the taxi plus the 'per kilometer' rate as has been set by the city. The taxi meters track time as well as distance in an average taxi fare.
For cellular automata on a square grid, a taxicab disk is the von Neumann neighborhood of range r of its center. A circle of radius r for the Chebyshev distance ( L ∞ metric ) on a plane is also a square with side length 2 r parallel to the coordinate axes, so planar Chebyshev distance can be viewed as equivalent by rotation and scaling to ...
Volume charge density (symbolized by the Greek letter ρ) is the quantity of charge per unit volume, measured in the SI system in coulombs per cubic meter (C⋅m −3), at any point in a volume. [1] [2] [3] Surface charge density (σ) is the quantity of charge per unit area, measured in coulombs per square meter (C⋅m −2), at any point on a ...
As of September 4, 2012, fares begin at $2.50 ($3.00 between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 am, and $3.50 during the peak weekday hours of 4:00–8:00 p.m.) and increase based on the distance traveled and time spent in slow traffic (50 cents for each one-fifth mile (0.32 km) or each 50 seconds stopped or traveling under 12 mph (19 km/h)).

The taxicabs of the United States make up a mature system; most U.S. cities have a licensing scheme which restricts the number of taxicabs allowed. As of 2012 the total number of taxi cab drivers in the United States is 233,900; the average annual salary of a taxi cab driver is $22,820 and the expected percent job increase over the next 10 years is 16%.
Taximeters manufactured by ABU in Sweden. Left to right: Swedish, German, English. Argentine Taxímeter "Digitax Printer" in "Libre" (Available) mode. The modern taximeter was invented by German Friedrich Wilhelm Gustav Bruhn in 1891, [3] and the Daimler Victoria—the world's first meter-equipped (and gasoline-powered) taxicab—was built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897.
Kilometre per square kilometre is an SI derived unit of reciprocal length used for measurement of density of a linear feature in an area. It is used to measure, for example, drainage density [ 1 ] or road density (i.e. kilometres of road per square kilometre of land).
The London congestion charge is a flat-fee daily charge to enter the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ) in central London, introduced in 2003. This was supplemented in 2008 by a Low Emission Zone charge, and in 2017 by a toxicity charge ('T-Charge'), now an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge. A Western Extension to the Congestion Charge Zone was ...
