Around the World in a Mini Cab

You always get a different window on the world when you are sitting in the back of a cab. Taking a ride in one of those famous yellow New York taxi cab’s across the Brooklyn Bridge and viewing the Big City out of the window is just one of many unforgettable memories that people will have when they have hailed a cab somewhere in the world. Let’s travel around the World in a Mini Cab!

What you pay for your cab ride will vary greatly across the globe and some rides you take seem amazingly cheap and other journeys in some cities might have you glancing nervously at the meter and wondering how far away the hotel is.

What you pay will vary greatly depending on whether you are in Delhi or Zurich, so here is a look at how taxi fares compare across the globe plus some other interesting facts and stats to consider about one of our most enduring and iconic modes of transport when traveling around.

The info-graphic finds some considerable disparity in the price you will pay for a 3km cab ride around the world, with an eye-watering £12.53 topping the list for a jaunt around Zurich in Switzerland, whereas in Delhi in India, you will almost feel like you got a free ride when you are asked to part with just .56p for the same distance, allowing you to go an amazing 66km in this bustling Indian city for the same 3km fare in Zurich.

Budget airlines might be an economical way to fly around Europe for many but if you have deep pockets and can’t get a flight, consider taking a cab ride from London to Athens instead, it will only cost you £4108 and take 30 hours to complete, but at least the price you see on the meter is the price you pay, with no hidden extras. – Travel Feeder
