Downtown Taxis: A $6.00 taxi ride (not including tip) will take you anywhere downtown–the area bounded by I-45, I-10, and US 59–through the Six in the City deal. Look for any of the 21 designated cab stands or find one of the 30 cab-hailing stands downtown. This deal applies day or night, with a single rider or multiple riders, and for any cab company. However, the deal applies only to hailed cabs. Also, rates increase if you leave downtown and/or if you have multiple drop-off locations.
