As someone who relies on public transportation for most of may daily coming and going, I’m pretty terrible at estimating cab fare. True, I can ask the cabbie before embarking on my journey, but that’s more than a little awkward; and there is the additional problem of having correct-ish change so you don’t have to sound like an asshole when you ask for change.

To my rescue comes TaxiWiz.com which quickly and effortlessly calculates cab fare for eight cities including NYC, LA, San Francisco, and Chicago. Not only can you get your fare from your browser or mobile phone, but TaxiWiz will even show you’re route on Google Maps or send you directions.
