Vietnam is one of the 10 countries with the cheapest taxi fares, just 2.8 USD for a 5km cab ride, according to a recent report from Taxi2airport, the global cab-hailing system.
At the other end of the spectrum, taxi fares for a 5km journey are far more expensive in Japan, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Britain, France and Sweden with the fares ranging from 11 USD to 17.5 USD.
The report showed that subway train systems, as well as other means of public transport, are preferred choices for visitors to Japan and European countries.
Additionally, Taxi2Airport also proposed some tips to save money for taxi-hailing including asking the drivers in advance about the fares before riding ♛a taxi with no meters; asking friendly locals for prices and using public transports, among others.-VNA
