    I tip about $2. If it was a very short ride then a $1 is ok.

    I do live in Toronto and I tip at least 2 dollars and more if it's a high amount on the metre.Same rate as if it were a restaurant.

    There is no need to tip unless the driver did something for you - got your bags, told you stuff, had a great converstion, whatever. Lots of cabbies don't talk to customers, for many reasons - personal safety is one.

    If you do, it really only needs to be nominal. Nothing more that $5. Taxi fair is ridiculous and goes up every few months.

    15% is a good measure if they go the extra mile for you. OTher than that...$2.
