Flag-down fare/rate这一说法则在新加坡和香港等亚洲以英语为工作语言的国家比较常用,如新加坡公共交通官网的一则服务介绍中关于出租车资费的说明:Taxi fares are charged by the taxi meter and are based on a flag down rate and the distance traveled. The flag down rate ranges from S$3.00 to S$5.00 (depending on type of taxi). 以下是具体的资费收费标准说明:

新加坡出租车官网也有类似内容的介绍:In Singapore, taxi cab fares must be charged by the taxi meter and are based on a flag down rate and the distance traveled. The flag down rate ranges from S$3.00 to S$5.00 (depending on the type of taxi).
香港某网站关于本地出租车资费的介绍也使用了flag-down fare这一说法:The red taxi could run around the whole Hong Kong only except Lanta. The flag down fare is HKD 15 for the first 2 kilometers and HKD 1.4/0.2 km will be charged thereafter. In addition, the waiting time fee may be added as HKD1.2/minute and HKD 4 of big luggage fee be charged. 不过,在另一网站关于香港地铁的介绍中,则出现了base fare:The base fare for a one-way ticket is $4 HKD (about $0.52 USD) and quickly increases depending on the distance traveled.由此看来,在香港,关于公共交通工具的“起步价”,flag-down fare 和base fare都是很常用的。
