Rushing to check out of your hotel to catch your flight home, you wonder if an ATM stop is needed before hailing your airport-bound cab. This is when the World Taximeter could come in handy — it estimates how much your cab ride will cost based on distance, local cab fares, and traffic estimations from Google, and you can access the service online or on your cell phone.
The service currently supports estimates in the following cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Boston, Dublin, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, New York, Paris, Prague, Rome, San Francisco, and Toronto. Try it out on your next vacation; it may even clue you in that you're getting ripped off when your driver tries taking the long way.

cool even though I don't use taxi's often
1That's a nifty service. I don't use cabs frequently, either.
2Don't use cabs that often, either, but I'm always afraid of getting shuttled all over a city I'm unfamiliar w/. Good tool if ever in need.
3I use taxis a bunch and thank you for posting this. Who knew?!
