In almost every city and town, taxis are very expensive in America. Unless you have a lot of luggage to carry or you are too late to reach the airport, please take buses instead of the taxis. Taxi drivers have a world-wide reputation(名声)for cheating people, even if many are honest and hard-working people.
　　If you must take a taxi, be sure the driver runs the meter(打开计价器)when you get in. Be sure there is nothing on the meter before he runs it. When he runs the meter, the amount for the first part of the trip will appear on the meter, and then as you drive(or stand still waiting for a red light), the meter will click away, adding more and more money to your fare(车费).A driver also has the right to charge you for any toll(通行费) that he must pay to go over bridges, and he may also charge you a small fee for each piece of baggage he takes. You should calculate(估算)that fee before you get in the taxi, so that if it is ten or twenty or thirty dollars higher than that, you can refuse to pay and try to find a policeman.
