See this? http://www.taxicabelectronics.com/my_first_taxi.htm http://www.taxicabelectronics.com/my_first_taxi.htm They'll sell you a new taxi cab meter "preprogrammed with your rates". You swap the legit one out yourself. Install this bad boy. Charge whatever you feel like. When it's time for the annual inspection you swap it out for the regular taximeter and you're good to go. Taxi cab drivers share other tips like replacing the tires for k-value tests, swapping out the vss, or installing a "pulse divider" (Google taxi pulse divider / multiplier). Then there's good old-fashioned charging the wrong fare. Many cities have special fares depending on time, pickup / drop-off location, and cabbies will try to "accidentally" charge someone the wrong fare. I've even had taxi drivers show me their "special fares" programmed into their taximeters. I present no evidence. I have been charged the wrong fare entirely too often in the days back before Uber. It's a real event that happens a significant proportion of the time, and that's not even to touch on the subject of pirate cabs.
