Tariff 3 applies to 5+ passengers or a large vehicle
The metropolitan maximum fares run across three tariffs. Tariff 1 covers weekdays 6am to 6pm at a $5.60 flagfall and $2.20 per kilometre. Tariff 2 covers nights, weekends and public holidays at an $8.00 flagfall and the same $2.20 per kilometre.
Tariff 3 applies when five or more passengers travel or a large vehicle is requested: an $8.00 flagfall and $3.29 per kilometre, with detention at $98.00 per hour. That per-kilometre rate is around 50% higher than a standard car, which is entirely reasonable for a vehicle carrying up to thirteen people. It's worth knowing before you book rather than after.
