For example, as of December 2007, the common Hatsunori fare (minimum taxi fare which is the first amount of charge before charge goes up as the taxi runs a certain distance or a certain time passes) for ordinary taxis in Tokyo's 23 wards is 710 yen, but there are some companies which set their Hatsunori fares to 500 yen.
たとえば、2007年12月現在、東京都区部における一般的な普通車初乗り運賃は710円であるが、500円とする会社も見られる。
