* sniff sniff *
first-ly,
me poor ... broke ... short-short pant-pocket$
I don't take a *limo* here in foreign ---ain't dew-ing it in Jamaica..!!..
in fact,
I haven't taken a WashDC/USofA taxi in ump-teen years
*home*, here in-foreign, I use public transportation 99.9% of the time.
WHEREAS, [for-me], Jamaica is '..home..', too:::>>>> me do the SAME thing down yonder der, that I do UP-yonder here.... .... me-personally, *see* no need to change my life$tyle, just because I'm in Jamaica.
it's a *me*-thing.

[[[ an aside, regarding the *comfy*-ride innuendo(s)::>>> now-days, lately, at-the-present-time, MANY (almost most) of those Ja-route-*taxis* are a far more comfy ride than a lot of those so-called charter vehicles.
Almost three years ago, I was blown-away when I saw how the Ja-route taxi fleet had *upgraded*, while a bunch of the charter-guys were still driving the same put-put-mobiles.
THIS TRIP, over Christmas break, I had several "..Heaven-to-Murgatroid.." moments, when I saw snazzy jazzy slick-slick vehicles they be-using now-days for route-taxi-ing ---- MANY are fancy mini-vans, with multiple sliding doors, on BOTH sides of the van. Quite-a-few of those route-taxi-vans have THREE-rows of seating for passengers.

don't wanna be redundant,
but here below is a video re-post ... taken December 31, 2013 ... NewYearsEve

I rode in that taxi (above)
'bout 3-4 times back & forth Lucea-to-Negril
..btw...nice & safe driver
one night/evening,
I rode in back-seat/row::::: soooooooooooooooooo nice back der ...... I was all by my lonesome-self on that back row, on that drive back to Lucea. In fact, all passengers in-taxi were comfy .... on the Lucea-to-Negril route, they don't pile-up the route taxis (as in the good(?)-ole-days). BeachRoad and WestEndRoad same way.
NOW,
IF you traveling via route-taxi in the rural-areas, THAT could be a whole *different* pot-of-chicken-feet....things go *different* in the non-tourist suburbs.
:-)

I'm kickin' my self,
'cause I didn't shoot more taxi-sample videos
for you-all's *consideration*
* sigh *
next time WILL do
.
.
secondly,
dem '..couple more bucks..' can add-up in quick-fashion if your trip is 3, 4, 6, 8 weeks.
