An electronic taximeter capable of calculating a plurality of individual passenger fares simultaneously. Each fare may be activated and deactivated independently of the other fares currently being calculated. In the preferred form, for use in taxicabs, the individual fares are incremented by a discounted rate related to the number of individual fares currently being calculated. In another form, for use in larger transport vehicles such as buses, the fares are incremented by a constant rate. The individual fares are stored in memory regions within a memory (34) and are incremented from time to time by a microcomputer (30) via a data bus (39). Each fare is incremented simultaneously and any discount is commenced at the next increment after an additional fare is commenced. |
