the faster the cheaper .
I thought faster should be more costly?
who says so?should ask the authority to clarify!if driving slowly is cheaper,all taxi drivers will then purposely drive slowly!
One example . . .
From Bukit Btk St 21 to CCK Ave 4 , midnight .
CDG Sonata drive fast , reach CCK around $9.75 under $10 .
TransCab Crown , drive slowly talked to me , reached cck over $10.xx
Considering TransCab only $3 flag down , speed played a part .
I was even told by my passenger , that when we drive faster , they paid less .
It's funny , but it's true .
in fact drive fast ( not speeding ) , it's win win for both driver and pax .
Driver can connect another trip ( if have ) , and pax pay less .
Not much diff, at least if drive fast but safe , they will appreciate more and we are happy cos can find next pax faster .
is it really true,can the authority verify it before all passengers siam those Toyota Crowns and Honda Cedric!is it just hearsAY?

Will the fare be the same if travel CONSTANTLY at 50 km/hr,70 km/hr or 90 km/hr.
With yr scenario, fare is the same. It only gets complicated when there's waiting involved. Distance travelled under certain speed (I think it is 30 kmph) is calculated under waiting time...
Observe the meter...when the "Hired" blinks, it is on "waiting" mode.
For e.g, other similar cab fare rates like new york city cab:
Standard City Rate (Rate Code 1)
$2.50 upon entry
$0.40 for each additional unit
The unit fare is:
Yup, hv to agreed with the waiting time, jam and traffic do play a part, but the differences will not be much, the flag down also play a part, as for speed, not really a problem, it goes by km, fast or slow, also by km.
As I said, alway seek the middle way, the average speed do the best, not slow, nor not fast, too slow, you get sleepy, too fast, you and pax may not reach your destination.
50/70/100 km/hr on highway, the meter will only jump $0.22 about 8-9 lamp post length,
the meter fare different is due to waiting time or u keep change lane from lane 1 to lane 3, make the travel distance longer
i don't think if drive slowly will be more expensive or else passengers would have complain long ago!u mean the LTA don't know?

If you are talking about constant, given a constant of pie 22/7, is equal to another pie of 22/7, what ever that come along to create the unequality will be the external values, from current of batteries to manufacturing of the meters, your tyre wheels diameter, air pressure, roundness, the co efficient of the engines, tachometer, speedometer and finally, the human factors.
Let take all these values into a factor Z
so pie = pie
given a Z factor
therefore, pie x Z =/= pie x Z

nothing is constant...
the onli constant is change...

Why not one day u experiment it ?
Just same point A to Point B .
One at 110km/hr .
The other at 70km/hr

Huh?? O level? A maths? algebra? Got simplier explanation?
