Bookmark worthy.. Infograph: Taxi Fares Around the World

March 31, 2014 at 6:12 pm

This neat infograph from Cheapflight.ca (H/T Business Insider) shows how much lighter your wallet will be when you have to hitch a ride from the airport to your destination in the city (downtown/CBD/etc).. Could definitely come in handy when you are planning that next vacation abroad.. Strangely, Asia is the home to both the cheapest (Delhi, India) and highest (Tokyo, Japan) taxi fare in the world.  It will be awesome if someone compiled a list that shows the cost of public transportation to the airport (such a linkage may be non-existent in some parts of the globe but I’m hoping the metropolitan cities listed below would definitely offer that connectivity).

Alpha Bravo, the last British Concorde, which was due to be put on display at Heathrow Airport, may be cut into pieces and shipped to the Gulf state, according to The Times.  It could be jointly marketed with the QE2 (Queen Elizabeth, the mighty passenger ship that once ruled the oceans of the world), which was sold to Dubai earlier this year to become a floating hotel.
