Actual taxi fares in Sydney can vary depending on the route taken, traffic conditions, toll roads, levy, payment method, airport fixed-fare eligibility and whether the trip starts during a day, night or peak-time period.
Taxi fares in Sydney are regulated under the NSW Point to Point Transport framework and are calculated using a taxi meter system. Each journey begins with a hiring charge (also known as the flag fall). After the trip starts, the meter increases the fare based on the distance travelled while the vehicle is moving at normal road speeds.
When the taxi slows down due to traffic congestion, traffic lights, or temporary stops, the meter switches from distance pricing to a waiting time rate. This system ensures that both distance travelled and travel time are considered when calculating the final fare.
