The taximeter willl combine fractional measures of distance and time in accruing a unit of fare. Any combination of distance or time shall be computed by the taximeter.
The fare shall include pre-assessment of the unit currently being accrued; the amount due may therefore include a full unit charge for a final, fractional unit.

Tolls
Tolls enroute to destinations within New York City are the responsibility of the passenger. On all trips within the New York City, any bridge and tunnel tolls to the destination shall be paid by the passenger, who shall be informed before the start of the trip.
On all trips within the City of New York, return tolls shall not be charged except for trips over the Cross Bay Veterans, Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial, and Verrazano Narrows Bridges.
On trips beyond the City of New York, all necessary tolls to and from the destination shall be paid by the passenger.
Flat Fare from JFK Airport:
The Taxi & Limousine Commission is conducting a Flat Fare program for trips between (to and from) the Manhattan and JFK International Airport.
The flat fare is $45.00 plus any tolls. The meter will not be turned on and the night surcharge will not be added.
If passengers request multiple stops, the flat rate of $45.00 will be collected at the first stop in either Manhattan or John F. Kennedy Airport, and the meter will be turned on for the remainder of the trip. The metered fare should be collected at the last stop, from the last passenger.

immoral taxi driver
After my redeye that I took a sleeping pill for, I got into a taxi cab and was driven to my place of residence. The driver told me the price, and in my sleeping pill induced stupor I thought that I did not have enough cash, even though he could plainly see that I did. He told me to give him the cash, and he would charge the rest on my credit card. I complied. Hours later, I realized that I paid him thirty dollars more than I should have. Is there any way I could track this guy down and get his license revoked, or at least get my money back?
overcharge
if you have your receipt the number of the taxi medallion is on it. if you remeber the drivers name will be even easier to track. call 311

Transport
If you are not carrying too much luggage then you can take the Airtrain to the subway's A Train into Manhattan. It is $7. A great deal if you have the time and aren't lugging around too much. If you want the ease of taking a taxi it is a flat fee of $45 plus toll & tip. If you decide to take the Midtown Tunnel (most direct) it is an additional $5 toll (I believe). Otherwise the driver would take one of the free bridges.
If you take the A train into Manhattan you can buy a Metrocard at the station (a good thing to have in the city anyways) and put at least $7 on it to get into the city. The same card can be used for the air train and the subway. When you get to the Times Square station get off and wait for one of the local trains to take you to the 50th street station. It is on the same platform and is the E or C train. There's no elevator or escalator at that station therefore I advise this scenario if you are comfortable lifting whatever luggage you bring. The Novotel Hotel is very close to this station.
Have fun!
