About this route

Airport-pickup surcharges apply to trips leaving Sydney Airport and account for a portion of the A$19.22 day-rate midpoint shown. Late Saturday (post-10pm), the trip out of Sydney Airport costs around A$24.24, an extra A$5.02 above the daytime baseline.

Over 5.1 km the meter alternates between two rates: a per-kilometre charge while the cab is moving, and a per-minute waiting rate once it drops below the slow-speed threshold. That is why a A$19.22 trip from Sydney Airport to Marrickville costs more in stop-start traffic than the distance alone suggests.
