I love route taxis

[Blake]

Blake,

You have been warned that incidents have happened and even have a first hand account. If I warn you not to put your hand in the flame or you will be burnt, and then you put your hand in the flame are burnt, is it the flames fault or yours?

Is there more than one reported incident of a route taxi robbing it's customer?

There have been multiple robberies of cab passengers in pretty much every state in the USA, yet we take cabs on a daily basis because we recognize they ARE rare and that the criminals are to blame, not the passengers.

Seriously, your victim blaming is ridiculous and your claiming that route taxis aren't safe is beyond reprehensible and is offensive to every route taxi driver out there.

It's obvious you aren't going to listen to reason when it comes to offering a balanced perspective, I'm done with this thread and most likely these boards, the blatant conflict of interest and FALSE information being spread by a supposed authority on all things Negril sickens me and I'm NOT the only one that feels that way.

Hopefully you'll recognize when you're wrong(we all make mistakes, owning up to them is much harder than denying it), and you'll recognize you're painting route taxis as being unsafe when they're as safe as any other mode of transportation/daily living.

Yes, crime happens, you don't blame the victim and you don't stop living life afterwards, you move on, blame the criminal, and recognize that it can happen anywhere for any reason.

Is there more than one reported incident of a route taxi robbing it's customer?... It's obvious you aren't going to listen to reason when it comes to offering a balanced perspective...

Blake,

You make me puzzled. I guess it impossible to "listen to reason(?) when it comes to offering a balanced perspective" when I have answered your same question more than once now. Here is a quote in response to you yesterday:

Blake,

As I have stated, here is my quote from that exact same question already asked:

"...Believe what you want and travel how you want. But to answer your question, I have heard of too many incidents around the island involving tourists, even though one is still too many.

Negril is a rather small town with a population hovering around 5000 and receives lesser numbers of visitors to the island than MoBay or Ocho Rios, so the number of incidents here are relatively small. But there have been incidents reported all around the island, in Hanover (not Negril), several in St James, a few more in the north coast areas and of course Kingston. "

There have been incidents happening to Jamaicans using unfamiliar route taxis. Some have ended up much worse than a robbery...

This is reminding me of nonsense about the tipping/service charge here in Jamaica when you went on and on and on and on and on with your near endless complaining.

At Jar77's advice, this thread is closed.
