Ok, so my IT teacher seems to think that Taxi companies don't charge by distance travelled, but use a database of millions of routes with predefined fixed prices instead.
And he made this quick spreadsheet to explain it to me:
He told me the list continues for every other possible door-to-door combination.
When I asked him about the "meters" used in cabs, he replied..
"What? NO"
...in an extremely weird way, it was as if he was thinking "oh crap, I've failed, I'd better back up my BS with even more BS, or he'll think I'm an idiot"
...and then he started saying more crap to back up his stupidity.
