Cabs in DC to cost more Inauguration Day

Residents and visitors to Washington, DC should be aware of an increase in cab fares on Inauguration Day. The DC Taxi Cab Commission approved a motion to add a $1 fee per additional passenger from 4a.m. to midnight, as the city plans for an influx of visitors for Inauguration festivities. It is advised to plan ahead, as travel times are expected to rise with the congestion and additional road closures. Public transit is preferable to car travel, and visitors should prepare for higher wait times.
