Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up and then charge an additional fee per mile driven. pick a u. s. city and research the rates of two
different cab companies in that city. find companies that charge different amounts per mile and have different flat fees. if you have trouble finding this information for two companies, you can make up what you think would be reasonable prices for a cab's flat rate and a cab's rate per mile.

1. New York City: The initial charge is $ 2.50 plus $ 0.50 per 1/5 mile when traveling above 12 mph or per 60 seconds in slow traffic or when the vehicle is stopped. There are other surcharges for overnight, rush hour or congestion.

2. Boston: First 1/7 Mile: $2.60  and each 1/7 Mile thereafter: $0.40.

3. Houston: First 1/11 mile  $2.80 , each additional 1/11 mile  $0.20 . Rate per mile after first mile  $2.20 and wait time per minute  $0.40.
