Too, should you have an undesirable or questionable experience, please report it! Otherwise, and I cannot emphasize this enough, subsequent unsuspecting passengers will receive the same treatment from that Operator, or Company*. However, your effort will be one significant piece, in a bureaucratic chain of evidence -perhaps the first, perhaps the last straw- which will ultimately fix that Operator because the Administration of Burlington Int’l Airport is keeping count. Thank you, the Ed.
* a company culture expectation, perhaps?! It happens.

The meter is primarily based upon mileage. However, the meter’s waiting time clock comes into play, and thus, begins counting the seconds any time the vehicle is traveling at less than 5 miles per hour or at a stop. Put another way, when a metered vehicle is traveling above 5 miles per hour, the waiting time clock turns itself off, and is not a factor.
A curiosity: many local residents are surprised to discover that airport queue permit taxi’s have meters, and that they have been required equipment for over 20 years.
