Officially Set

The Long Beach taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2024. Taxi tariffs in the United States of America are officially set by cities or districts.

How the fare is made up under the Long Beach taxi rate:

The Long Beach taxi tariff sets the rules for how much passengers pay for a taxi ride. When you enter a taxi, the meter starts with a base fare of $3.10. This is a fixed starting charge applied as soon as your ride begins.

After the base fare, the cost of your ride increases according to the distance you travel. For every kilometer, an extra $2.97 is added to your fare. The total distance traveled from the start to the end of your journey is measured by the taxi meter, ensuring the fare is calculated accurately.

If the taxi is stopped or moving very slowly, such as in heavy traffic, waiting time charges may apply. The waiting time rate is $32.08 per hour. This is calculated automatically by the meter based on how long the taxi is stationary or delayed.

These charges are all part of the official taxi tariff in Long Beach. By following this structure, passengers can understand how their total fare is calculated for every ride.
