ALO TAXI
São Paulo is a lively and dynamic city in Brazil, offering a wide variety of cabs to get around. Cabs can be recognized by their distinctive red license plates. Most cabs are equipped with meters, so it's advisable to take these as they are the safest. All cabs are equipped with meters to regulate fares and journey times. The price may increase if you are carrying luggage. Brazilian cab drivers are generally decent and respectful people who won't try to cheat people, but you should always remain vigilant, especially in cities like Rio de Janeiro or Salvador da Bahía, where some cab drivers may try to charge tourists more. In Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, the cab driver may not know the destination very well, so it's a good idea to have at least some idea of where you're going, so you can tell the driver which routes to take. Cab fares in Brazil are governed by two types of fare: the normal fare or bandeira 1, and the bandeira 2 fare, which applies to journeys at night or on public holidays, when the meter runs faster. There may also be a pre-set fare for certain types of journey, such as to the airport.
