OTOH, if he gets me to where I want to go, as efficiently and quickly as possible, I tip 10% of the fare including tolls.

Wow, you go all the way up to the double digits?

yeah this feels right. for an airport run its going to be 3-4 bucks to LGA, and maybe 5-6 to ewr. around town, a 10% tip will rarely exceed $1.50, which is pretty close to the result you get under the "round to the next dollar, unless < 30cents, in which case add $1 and round up" rule

If it's a meter cab, and he's leaving the meter off, you don't have to tip him. He is not recording the fare and is keeping the whole thing instead of giving a cut to the cab company or owner.

No this isn't true. I always hear them on the radio talking to their dispacther even when the meter is off. They turn the meter off on any out of city trip and you agree upfront.

WTF kind of cab are we talking about here? I thought everyone was assuming that it was an NYC cab. No yellow NYC cabs have dispatchers.

I assumed Jersey City, but I guess it could be NYC. And you are correct, no NYC cabs have dispatchers

Re: Tipping Cab Drivers on Set Fares
