Fares are between $6 to $10. Taxis don't cost $100 unless you are traveling from the Westside to Downtown to South Bay to Pasadena... A reasonable person would only take a cab within districts where driving is not practical. Justin – I use taxis nearly every weekend to get between my place and the bars in downtown.

That said, the vast distances that one needs to cover to get anywhere in LA are part of what make that impractical. No matter where a taxi is allowed to pick up passengers, noone is going to take taxis regularly if it is over $100 to get from where you are to where you want to be, as is frequently the case for me.
