Post #353,613 by malraux 1/26/12 12:43:53 PM Reply	That's fine, but... I think the point is that the taxes should be shown separately, not wrapped up in the supposed base cost without any way of knowing what comes from where. I would support a full disclosure at the point of selection as long as it's clearly shown what is fare, what is tax, what is an additional charge, and so on.

The article didn't say anything about "base fare" - (drook) - (6) - Jan. 26, 2012, 01:51:18 PM EST

They do that already. - (beepster) - (5) - Jan. 26, 2012, 03:50:24 PM EST

You've just stated his point - (beepster) - (3) - Jan. 26, 2012, 05:50:45 PM EST

It's a stupid point, IMHO. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Jan. 26, 2012, 06:24:09 PM EST

Well then, for consistency - (beepster) - Jan. 26, 2012, 06:54:21 PM EST

A few thoughts - (S1mon_Jester) - Jan. 26, 2012, 10:53:46 PM EST

I don't have words for the idiocy of this stance. - (static) - (16) - Jan. 26, 2012, 11:26:48 PM EST

Somewhat - (beepster) - (13) - Jan. 27, 2012, 09:00:42 AM EST

You're not getting it - (drook) - (2) - Jan. 27, 2012, 01:00:48 PM EST

I "get it" and completely disagree - (beepster) - (1) - Jan. 27, 2012, 01:40:00 PM EST

What difference does it make? - (drook) - Jan. 28, 2012, 11:45:37 AM EST

So what's stopping them listing the taxes? - (static) - (9) - Jan. 27, 2012, 11:08:38 PM EST

Perhaps, - (beepster) - (8) - Jan. 28, 2012, 07:10:54 AM EST

The problem with this discusion may be... - (Another Scott) - (2) - Jan. 28, 2012, 04:06:49 PM EST

The continuing problem is - (beepster) - (1) - Jan. 28, 2012, 07:16:39 PM EST

No, the problem is customers don't know the price. - (Another Scott) - Jan. 28, 2012, 08:12:57 PM EST

It's a broken solution to a broken problem. - (static) - Jan. 28, 2012, 05:18:02 PM EST
