It's been exactly one month since the city switched all of its taxi cabs over to time and distance meters, and we've spent that month asking every driver and frequent taxi passenger we've run across what their experiences have been. The vast majority of drivers we've spoken to agree that within the city, fares by and large even out to be about the same -- some are a little more, some are a little less, but none are so different that it might put them out of business. Compliance with installing meters ended up going fairly smoothly, amazingly enough, and overall the new system is working pretty well.
