  Based on Comfort Taxi fare,1am-6am is subjected to midnight surcharge,that is 50% of the metered fare.
  You boarded the cab at 5.50am,that mean the midnight surcharge is applied for first 10 mins only,afterwhich,that is normal fare.
  I know nowaday,cab driver no need to do the manual calculation,the smart meter will be able to tell you how much.Happy Journey

  The 50% midnight surcharge will be "ON" until 5.59am , until 6am , meter back to normal no-surcharge rate .

  But there's this loophole which i seriously think taxi companies must plug..between 1am and 5.59am, there's 50% midnight surcharge, cabbies will be damn happy if you board his cab..but after 5.59am, it's back to normal fares but JUST one and a half hours later at 7.30am, there's the $2.00 peak-hour surcharge..I think if i'm a cab driver, I rather wait one and a half hours den pick passengers..can earn $2 more with every trip until 9.30am..so i think taxi companies should do something for the period between 6am and 7.30am..
