Taxi Trivia

There are two types of taxi fares: "metered fares" and "time-based fares."
Metered fares vary depending on distance, while time-based fares are determined by the time taken. Time-based fares are cheaper for long-distance travel. For example, a one-way trip from Nagano City to Tokyo would cost over 100,000 yen using the metered fare, but a round trip using the time-based fare (10 hours) would cost around 91,000 yen. (Highway tolls are not included.)
