I am scared of Taxis. Not like frightened of being hit by them, but I never know how much a fare will cost. Thats mostly a product of the odd zone system in place; although its getting changed to meters soon. So generally as a rule I don't take taxis unless I'm desperate and have 60 bucks in my wallet. Its not so bad most of the time but the Post has a pretty sweet GMaps mashup of taxi zones in DC. It calculates the fare in both systems so you have an idea how badly you're getting taken to the cleaners and how much better it'll be when we switch to meters. Whip out your iphone next time you're not quite sure that 4 block ride should really be 26 bucks.
