Taxis are prevalent in most central locales and can be hailed on the street.
Meters start at $2.25, rising by 20 cents for every one-ninth of a mile or 36 seconds of waiting time. The first extra passenger (aged 12-65) is charged $1.00, with additional passengers adding a further 50 cents to the fare. Journeys to or from either airport incur an additional $1.00 charge. There is no fee for baggage. Tipping is optional but expected. Taxis are usually safe and reliable. If you have a compliant, call the Department of Consumer Services at 312.744.4006.
