Why do you want to go by taxi?

AFA the original question about UJ wanting to go by taxi rather than several U-Bahn/bus/train connexions which would make the journey longer and more complicated than it normally would be...jetlag. The lad's not flying in from Düsseldorf or London. It may not sound like much, but saving an extra half hour or more of transferring from one transit to another is attractive when you've traveled a long way and have luggage. There's a popular travel author in the US who once reckoned that every hour you're in Europe costs you $10-20, and that was back in the 1990's. My last taxi to or from NUE cost about 27 € for the 17 km trip. Assuming a rate of 70 cents per km, the 11 km taxi ride from NUE to Vach Bahnhof might cost 18 € or so. The drive (http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=flughafen+n%C3%BCrnberg&daddr=vach+bahnhof+f%C3%BCrth ) should go very quickly on a Saturday morning. If the plane lands on time and you get off the plane quickly, you could conceivably get to the taxi and then to Vach in time for the 9:01 RB. Or have a bit of Frühstück at the airport and catch the 9:56 one. (I've eaten at NUE, it's quite okay, upstairs anyway.) Not a bad option IMO. Vach-Bamberg costs 8,30€ or 9 strips on a Streifenkarte. I could mail you the extra Streifenkarte I have here in my wallet--it might well arrive before you fly!
