The great thing about PPM is that, when you need to adjust your prices, ultimately you can do this easily as only 1 variable needs changing. Also, where fixed pricing is concerned, I generally put these on the homepage of my site as I don't have too many fixed price destinations. The great thing about the Price Per Mile is that it provides a more accurate fare estimate for a plotted journey especially where multiple stops are concerned. Keep up the good work!
