As it's in general discussions, you could be meaning in any city.

 

In Sheffield, in a Mercury cab, would be £14.20 for 4 people or less on a booked journey.

 

City's price would be very close to that too, give or take a few 5p's.

 

 

Not strictly true PT, though it is for the journey mentioned. If you travel only 160 yards in the day time, it would cost you £2.50 in a black cab. A Mercury would cost you £3.80. (City 3.85)

The difference crosses at around 1761 yards (without stopping) when a cab would cost £4.00, but a Mercury cab would still cost £3.80.

 

City Taxis charges £3.80 for the first mile and Not £3.85!
