In-Depth Information
By Taxi:
Stockholm is a good taxi town—provided you find a reputable
cab that charges fair rates. Taxis are unregulated, so companies can charge
whatever they like. Before hopping in a taxi, look carefully at the big yellow
label in the back window, which lists various fares. On the left, you'll see
the per-kilometer fares for weekdays, evenings and weekends, and holidays.
The largest number, on the right, shows their “highest comparison price”
(hög-
sta järnförpriset)
for a specified ride; this number should be between 290 and
390—if it's higher, move on. (Legally, you're not obligated to take the first cab
in line—feel free to compare fares.) Most cabs charge a drop fee of about 45
kr. Taxis with inflated rates tend to congregate at touristy places like the Vasa
