In response to pleas from cab drivers amid rising gas prices, the Philadelphia Parking Authority has approved a new 50-cent surcharge.
A trip that now costs the standard $2.70, becomes $3.20 on Monday. And that's not all.
A previously approved surcharge and a fare increase will go into effect on Monday as well.
Each additional passenger will cost an extra $1.00, beginning with the second passenger in a taxi. Thus, a three-passenger trip will cost $5.20 before the cab gets moving.
