Any cab I've ever been in had the mileage cost clearly posted in the taxi along with all of the other regulations. And they didn't change their rates depending on 'busy times of day'band inflate charges 2-5x as much.
This sounds pretty much like the experience people tell me in any Uber or Lyft, except for the cell phone but you can use your cell phone in a taxi just fine, so I'm not sure why this is even relevant.
