I haven't used a Taxi for ages so no idea of costs now, but i've just been round to my neighbours house this afternoon, she's an old lady of 90 years, and because she was cold down town on Saturday morning rather than wait for a bus to Avenue Parade (block below post office) she got a Taxi from the Union street rank, and was charged £3.70p which i think is a lot for such a short distance.
I've had a leaflet through the door from a company called Millerz taxis, who say their minimum charge is 99p which would cover the likes of Fern Gore to accy centre & Accy to Bolton avenue at £2.50.
So £3.70 to me sounds like a rip off too, in comparison?

There's a difference between Private hire and Taxis taggy, Taxis are metered, private hire aren't, think with some private hire its think of a number, I'm nearly sure the fare for taxis is set by the licencing authority, but I may be wrong
