For me a 4k trip to town in an accessable Taxi costs in total around $9.00 each way with the government giving a 50% rebate. So a trip to town and back costs me $9.00 give or take a few cents. The maximum rebate on any one fare is $25.00 and up here it does not take very long on an out of town trip to clock up $50.00.
The bus fare for the same trip one way is about $2.50 as well without the comvieniance of the Taxi. During fine weather I walk both ways but during our wet season ( late December to end March) I have to take the taxi so I resrict going out to a minimum.
