What to know
If you hail a black cab in Bangor in the daytime on a weekday, the meter should not exceed this table. Journeys that start and end in Bangor must go on the meter.
If you pre-book a minicab, you are using a private hire car. It is licensed. It generally does not use this tariff. Agree the price when you book.
Hackney vs private hire
