Catch a 52 bus, it will probably be quicker. The 52 is the most frequent bus in Sheffield.

But about £10 cheaper than a taxi

Airport Cars · 27-07-2009, 17:27

4.2 miles on autoroute

that equates to £7.70 ish in a PH cab.

(not sure about a Black Cab)

about 8 quid depending on time of day you go.

but it will be roughly around that mark unless you use a black cab.

correct.

And for the record...

Just about all of them (City etc) charge the same (or at least the drivers SHOULD)

£3.50 for the first mile.

60p per half mile after that.

i.e.

1 mile - £3.50

1 1/2 m - £4.10

3 miles - £5.90

etc
