For the most part it seems reasonable, but some of the jumps from zone to zone are a little much. For instance, I live a block north of Kingsway in East Van. If I get dropped off on the south side of Kingsway and walk a block, it's $29 (taxi from YVR to my place usually comes in around $32-34). If I get dropped off north of Kingsway, it jumps to $41! I think I'll walk the block and save $12. |
Fare zones at last! I agree the zone jumps are a bit wonky when it comes to the Northeast. Either the Northeast should be $36-38 or there should be a buffer zone. I'll also have to be careful though as I live on the north side of Hastings in Gastown...looks like getting dropped off south of Hastings will save me $5...
