Depends on the situation -- if you're sharing as a favor (e.g., it's raining and you rightfully caught the cab first, but you're letting him ride along so he doesn't get soaked), then it's reasonable (if a tad mercenary) to expect him to pay the full fare to his destination if he gets out first. On the other hand, if it's an attractive woman, well, use your own judgement.

The DC taxicab system is deregulated, so it is very easy to catch a cab at any time of day or night in a well-trafficked area. That is the only good aspect of the taxicab system. DC uses a fare system based on zones, which are concentric circles emanating from the Capitol (meaning it is very cheap for Congressmen to travel anywhere in the city from their office -- go figure!). I live on a zone line, and it costs me two zones (currently $9.80, not including the socially mandatory tip) to go anywhere I would possibly go in the city, whether it is ten blocks or one mile.Originally Posted by Ambulance Chaser
zones are pretty stupid. I was once in a cab and the zoning screwed me. I asked the guy to drop me off on the next street over and that turned into a different zone so I had to pay extra just for that crap..
I also think its pretty stupid to have to tip cab drivers. Waiters I can understand but I just dont like tipping cab drivers especially if they ask for a tip. I usually just round up to the next high dollar, not that it is anything special. I would be suprised if anyone did not
For example today: I used my credit card since I had no cash and because of that the driver says I should of tipped him more! The bill was like 510. I payed 6 with my credit card. I hate that ****!

I split a cab longways, like a hot dog. Not sure why anyone would split it hamburger style...

The only reasonable responses to necrobumps are unnecessarily corny quips.
