Every fare, city, airport, rule and date on BookARobotaxi comes from a source we name on the page, with the date we last checked it. Here is how we choose sources, how we label them and how we keep them current.
Which sources we use
- The operator. Waymo's help center and announcements, Tesla's Robotaxi pages, rider rules and app listings, Zoox's rider FAQ and manual, and Uber and Lyft's own announcements about Waymo rides on their apps.
- Regulators and airports. State transportation authorities, city transportation departments, utilities commissions and airport operators, for permits, service limits and airport access.
- Data studies. Published price studies, quoted with their dates, area and method.
- Reputable news. Newspapers and established outlets for what operators announce through the press.
- Trackers. Independent trackers only where no official figure exists, such as Tesla fares, always labeled "reported" and never presented as a rate.
How we label facts
- Each page shows when its facts were last checked. The label changes on its own as time passes: "Checked" for 30 days, then "Last checked, may have changed" until 60 days, then "Not recently checked" until we recheck.
- A fare is "published" only if the operator publishes it. Today that is one card: Waymo in Las Vegas.
- Where an operator's own pages disagree (for example Zoox's minimum age for children), we show both and say which to plan on.
- We don't invent prices, dates, cities, rules or statistics, and we don't estimate a fare where no rate exists.
How we keep it current
Our fact registry records every source, the pages that rely on it and when we checked it. A watcher revisits official source pages on a schedule, politely and without signing in, and flags any whose content changed so a person rechecks the facts by hand. Stale facts are listed for review before they can be shown as current. The registry is public at /data/facts.json.
Writing
Pages are written for riders: the answer first, then the detail. We use company names only to describe their services. We don't publish customer-service phone pages; for help with a ride, go to the company's own support.
