Taxi/bus company rate comparisons. Most transit companies provide fare information on their website, as well as a search function which rarely includes a CAPTCHA, so getting updates is easy.

There's not many bus services in my city and the taxi situation is:

- Flag the taxi down - all the same price

- Hailo which loads of people use all the time now

- 20% discount taxis

- 25% discount taxis

So I don't think we really have a taxi problem

Lucky you. Our taxis prices are all over the place, some charge a callout fee and others don't, and some hide the meter and charge whatever the hell they want - I'd use a price comparison service for this for sure
