most taxis have a meter called unit that indicates the amount of payment , other than a basic meter that calculates distance and/or time , so the passenger is supposed to pay the fare based on this meter . 多くの場合、基本となるメーターの他に、ユニットといわれる支払額を示すメーターがついており、これに従って運賃料金を精算する。
an edict of 1725 proclaimed that the amount of payment was that of one third of cash tax payments in gold or silver in addition to an increase of 3 ryo gold per 35 koku and an increase of 5 monme silver per 1 koku of rice . すなわち享保10年の令によれば、その石代は三分一金銀納の石代に、さらに35石につき金3両、銀納の地方は米1石に銀5匁を増加して納めさせた。
unlike the basic meter , this meter shows the actual amount of payment from which discount charges such as discounts for long-distance travel are subtracted or to which extra charges such as a geisha charges or a reservation charges are added . これは、遠距離割引や迎車料金、予約料金等の、通常のメーター以外の割引や加算をした額を示すものである。
