Whether you have ever used the service of radio cab service in Madrid center as if you have not, what is certain is that you have ever gotten into a cab and wondered how the little gadget that tells you what you should pay works, right? Well that device is called taximeter and we want to offer you through this post the necessary information so you know how it works, and thus feel more confident when you enjoy your trip.

The taximeter measures distance and time and converts it into a fare. Measuring time is a way of compensating the driver for the time he may spend standing in a traffic jam, which is, after all, work time. For this reason it can be more expensive to get from one point to another if there is traffic than to travel a longer distance if there is not. The taximeter uses electrical pulses. To calculate the distance, it relies on sensors connected to the cab's transmission and so the sensor sends impulses every time a certain number of meters have been traveled. On the other hand, a timer sends an impulse every time a certain period of time elapses. And this is the simple method for calculating the cost that we cab drivers use at Radio cab Madrid Airport. No more mystery.

In addition to this rate based on distance and time, the radio cab in Madrid center can add other bonuses derived from the night schedule, the geographical location or the entrance to the airport.
