Your bow is accepted... Please get on shining my shoes with that Reserva San Juan ASAP !!!!



On a more serious note and to answer your question... Its kinda' a lottery of sorts.... as it will depend on actual traffic and other intangibles that could swing the metered fare either way. Flat fares are usually calculated by adding a security 'coverage' of 10-15% of what an "average" metered fare would be.... but for the cab companies, this is a large number of trips play... so the analysis from a consumers point of view vs. the way the companies look at this is different.
