What functionality does a multiple tariff taximeter provide?

A multiple tariff taximeter is designed to accommodate different rates depending on various factors, such as time of day, type of service, or special circumstances, allowing it to calculate two or more rates efficiently. This functionality is particularly useful in environments where fare structures vary, enabling fares to adjust according to predefined conditions without requiring manual recalibration or separate devices for each different rate.

This versatility is essential for taxi operators who may need to charge different rates for peak times, off-peak times, or special rates for specific types of passengers or services. By automatically calculating multiple rates, the taximeter enhances convenience for both the driver and the passenger, ensuring that the fare accurately reflects the agreed-upon terms for the journey.
