After playing around, it hit me... Why not pass the values through another form? No query strings involved, and everything passed right along in the $_POST data.

/estimate-fare/index.php

<?php 
$pickupat = $_POST['pickupaddress'];
$dropoffat = $_POST['dropoffaddress'];
$distance = calcDistance($pickupat,$dropoffat); // the function that calculates or looks up distance between points - (float) miles
$time = calcTime($pickupat,$dropoffat); // function to calculate time taken at present time of day - (int) minutes
$fare1 = $distance * 10 * $distancerate; // meter rate per 10th of a mile
$fare2 = $time * $timerate; // meter rate per minute
$estfare = ($fare1 > $fare2) ? $fare1 : $fare2;
?>
<html>
<body>
 ...
 <form method="post" action="summary.php">
 <input type="text" value="<?php echo $pickupat; ?>">
 <input type="text" value="<?php echo $dropoffat; ?>">
 <input type="text" value="<?php echo $distance; ?> Miles">
 <input type="text" value="<?php echo $time; ?> Minutes">
 <input type="text" value="<?php echo $estfare; ?>">
 <input type="submit" value="Next">
 </form>
 ...
 </body>
 </html>

If your fare form handler is referring the fare1 page, then one could just pass the value(s) through a query string and suss them out in fare1.
