Taxis are usually the fastest and preferred method of transportation around the city. Taxis also refer to Jeeps and micro buses that can be used to travel around Mongolia.
City taxis come in two flavors; metered and un-metered. Metered taxis
are generally yellow and look more professional, they all have working
meters so that foreigners know how much to pay. Unmetered taxis
usually just look like regular cars but can be slightly cheaper than
metered cabs.
Most taxis charge around 250 tugrug per
kilometer. There are also taxis to go to more distant locations
available for hire at the Narantuul market, Bayanzurkh and Teverin
Tovchoo.
