Ever traveled to a new city and suspect that your cab driver may be taking
you on the extra-long scenic route?
Here’s how you can know the fare before you go.
If you don’t want to be taken for a long ride by a cab–and we’re talking the long way around–check out these resources before you go.
You probably know that you can plot your route with various online maps, but with Taxi Wiz.com, you can calculate your actual fare, instead of just estimate the route or distance.
That way, you can have a good idea about what it should cost to get where you’re going.
Taxi Wiz currently covers nine major cities within the US and Canada.
For a specialized New York map, just go to NYC Cab Fare.com.
It only covers the 5 boroughs at this point, but Newark Airport may be added soon.
