Damn you Cabbie!!!
The city's changing the taxi system in DC. I've only taken a cab a couple times (and shared it with like three other people) but the fare has never been outrageous. I don't know if anyone's ever taken a cab in DC, but like everything else in this weird little city, it's complicated. There's a zone system that separates everything into neighborhoods, and the zones go clockwise? maybe from NW to SW. And the cabbies all know. "That'll be 19 bucks, drunk bitches." or "14 American dollars, tourists."
And now, the city is mandating that all cabs have meters. Why? I think the antiquated mapping system is suited to this poorly mapped out, traffic-circle hell of a city.
