What does "счетчик" mean in the context of a taxi fare?
(little) Receipt?
meter?
Here's the full dialogue:
-Мне нужно в центр.
-Десять баксов.
-Но почему так дорого?
-Как хочешь.
-На Тверскую, пожалуйста.
-Два счетчика.
-Ну хорошо, поехали.
So:
-I need to go to the center (of town).
-10 bucks.
-Why so much?
-Whatever. Have it your way...
-To Tverskaya,please.
- 2?????
- Well, ok. Let's go.
double price (price on taxi counter*2)
Maybe, instead "2 счетчика" there must be "2 бакса"?
ST's right. Double the meter fare.Quote:
