Original Toronto Star caption: These two taxi meters look alike; but the one on the left; soon to be insatlled in a cab for Robert Sacks; will tick off dollars and cents in terms of kilometres instead of miles. If you ask me; it (the old system) was all right the way it was before; Sacks says. But I guess I'll have to get used to it (the new metric system); won't I?
