There is often more to learn from explaining to a child/teenager that you over reacted and that you need to revisit what you said and make your response more appropriate for the situation. As playfelt said, show him the article, explain your reaction and adjust the punishment to better fit the situation. Paying for a taxi for a week is a bit severe. Set the boundaries now...if he does it again then paying for a taxi for a week (or year) is perfectly legit because you made it clear ahead of time.
