Fenty Holds Firm to Taxi Meter Deadline

Mayor Adrain M. Fenty said the city will hold firm to its May 1 deadline on taxi meters, but is giving a one-month period when drivers will get warnings. After May 31st, however, it's $1,000 fines each time they are found without a meter and a risk of suspension.

So, starting May 1st, in taxis without a meter, what is the fare supposed to be? Is it based on the old zone system? The interstate rates? Or is this a tacit admission that drivers have been making up fares for ages now?
