Getting to Know: Getting Around Frommer
By Taxi

Because most everything in Portland is fairly close, getting around by taxi can be economical. Although there are almost always taxis waiting in line at major hotels, you won't find them cruising the streets--you'll have to phone for one. Broadway Cab (tel. 503/227-1234) and Radio Cab (tel. 503/227-1212) both offer 24-hour radio-dispatched service and accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Fares are $2.50 for the first mile, $1.50 for each additional mile, and $1 for additional passengers. Up to four passengers can share a taxi.
