    its usually about 10 from there into town provided you didnt flag it down, were they running the meter?

    The most I've ever gotten charged was 8. Even from a flagged down one. I wasn't in the front so I didn't see the initial reading when we hopped in.
    [edit] It was metered aswell.

    actually got a cab from work last night (raheen to City Centre) and the excuse the driver gave was "oh the traffic is always heaver in december"

    we were coming in the new road that ends accross the road from tesco in roxboro when he was saying this. at 12.00 there wasn't a car on the road ffs, he still charged the extra euro.
