End of the Bargaining Period with Taxi Drivers: Adjust Your Budget According to Your Destination
Taxis, which are life-savers in the intense (stressful) transportation life in metropolises when catching an airport or returning from a tiring hospital day, give many people fear due to the perception of unknown price (Surprise Taximeter). Digitalization is breaking the taxi phobia in the form of "I wonder if the cash in my wallet will be enough after getting in? Or will I get off halfway and look for an ATM with a credit card POS device?". ToolBoxTR Taxi Fare Calculation software carries that Amount, which will be reflected from the digital mirror in the driver's seat, to your phone with its most realistic variance before you hit the road.
How Does a Taximeter Write? Secret Cost Anatomy of the Taxi
A taximeter is actually a simple mathematical device. It has two main variables, the first of which is the "Distance KM" at the rotation speed of the wheel, and the second is the "Timer (Second) Waiting Number" that kicks in when the wheel stops:
Opening (Minimum Fixed Rate):
The initial property fee for the taxi driver taking you into the car (as a customer) and turning the steering wheel (determined by UKOME or the Municipality).
Cost Per Unit:
The highest volume cost item written based on the fuel burned and labor spent by the taxi in 1 Kilometer. (That is, as much as your road extends, the inflation of the tariff increases accordingly).
Getting Stuck in Traffic (Waiting Cost):
When you stay in traffic in the car (e.g. on the E5 Bosphorus Bridge) and cannot move, the driver only burns fuel but cannot earn km. In order not to victimize the taxi driver, when the speed falls below a certain level (e.g. 15 km/h), the Taximeter automatically switches to the "Waiting Fee (Per Minute Amount)". This is the dark spot where your price actually inflates.
Getting-In-and-Out Warning: Minimum Transport Rules
If you get into the car to go to your house just 3 streets behind (for example 1.2 Km) when it snows or rains; and if the total of Opening + 1 Km fee comes out cheap when calculating the formula, do not be happy. Due to the "Short Distance (Getting-In-and-Out)" application of municipalities, the minimum amount kicks in. In other words, although the taximeter writes "10 TL", if the legal limit is determined as (for example "100 TL"), you are obliged to give that minimum figure to the taxi driver to go 3 streets. Our calculation tool serves as a financial guide to be an umbrella for you in these economic fluctuations.
