The data included both traditional taxis and cabs ordered through an app like Uber or Bolt. London came in fifth place, with around £17.26 per 5km ride, ahead of other expensive cities including Amsterdam, Milan and Tokyo."
"At the top of the list was Zurich in Switzerland, where a short trip will set you back a whopping £20.40. Paris came in at second (£26.50), followed by Luxembourg (£19.43) and Geneva (£18.76). European cities dominated the list, way ahead of most US metropolises. New York was the 20th most expensive city for a ride (around £11.69) and San Francisco was 24th (£10.58) in the list."
