Why is the per-mile rate higher on this receipt than on the shorter city trip?

The per-mile rate on this receipt ($2.75/mile) is higher than the $2.50/mile rate on the shorter city taxi receipt because taxi rates vary by city and jurisdiction. NYC's metered rate is currently $2.50/mile on local streets but uses a different rate structure that may vary with traffic conditions, time of day, and zone. Both rates shown in these examples are within the realistic range of US urban taxi metered rates ($2.00–$3.50/mile). The takeaway is that the receipt should show the specific per-unit rates that the meter was programmed with, not a generic rate.

Are tolls included in the metered fare or added on top?

Tolls are always added on top of the metered fare, the taximeter does not count toll charges. When the taxi passes through a toll plaza, the driver pays the toll and adds it to the final receipt as a separate line at actual cost. The $6.50 Midtown Tunnel toll on this receipt is not marked up, the passenger reimburses the exact toll amount. For trips involving multiple tolls (bridge + tunnel, for example), each toll may appear as a separate line or be combined into a single 'Tolls' line showing the total. Neither the percentage tip nor the base fare calculation affects the toll amount.
