Taxi prices in Soweto are high. The dark skinned taxi drivers hardly venture onto roads after dark. While a lighter colored cab might cost $2.50 less per kilometer, the darker colored cab should be priced at around $7 or $8. A lot of the time, locals get attacked by taxi drivers, especially because of the taxi touts. When the police were no longer able to control the situation, they began enforcing the anti-taxi law by dismantling the taxi licences of the other taxi companies operating in Soweto.

Uber in Soweto

As far as fare estimates for Uber in Soweto, Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area, City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng, South Africa - it looks fairly familiar too. There is a base fare, a charge per mile and a charge per minute. It looks like the pricing structure you know well from all the miles you have logged in Soweto cabs. But Uber Fare Estimator actually uses a bit different pricing model. Uber taxis in Soweto charge riders per mile when moving, and per minute when idling. Even so, Uber rates do beat cab fares in Soweto.

It's also important to note that you don't have to tip your Uber taxi driver. And most people do tip their Soweto taxi driver.

If you add a tip of 20% to the Soweto cab fares, Uber looks like an even better deal and beats out other Soweto taxis' prices.
