TAXI
TAXI – in Zurich, the initial fare is CHF 6 (and an additional CHF 3.80 for each kilometer driven). When taking a taxi from a stand, check the prices on their door and take the cheapest one available (you don’t have to take the first one in the row).
Taxi drivers have to and usually do use their meters, but for longer distances you can try to arrange a price in advance (the meter still has to be used as a control). Cheating is rare. Luggage does not cost extra. Not all taxi drivers speak English. You‘ll find taxis at official taxi stands at the main railway station, at Central, Bellevue and other places. You can hail them from the streets as well. Note that only taxis with the front or back of their taxi signs colored white and blue are allowed to pick up passengers in the city.
The ridesharing services Uber also operates in Zurich. You can order their drivers over an app on your smartphone. Fares usually are significantly cheaper than standard taxi fares /initial fee 3-6Sfr, 1.35 – 3.60Sfr per km., 0.30 – 0.60Sfr per minute). Find more information at: www.uber.com/cities/zurich/
