Booger,

Booger I would do the same thing when I grabbed a Route Taxi on the Beach Road and was headed to the West End. I would always ask in advance and settle the price. I would only do this if the the Taxi was empty. I noticed on some ocassions that is was a Green Island Route Taxi that would take me all the way up the West End Road. Same thing if I was headed from some place on the West End to the Beach.

I usually stand on the side of the road that has the traffic going in the direction I'm going and when I see a Route Taxi approaching, I point towards the ground in the direction I want to go and they pull over and pick you up. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes it is full, but it is always and adventure.

I remember one night taking a Taxi down the West End Road towards Seaview and we pulled over to pick up a group of young ladies dressed to kill, jus little ole me and a taxi packed with honeys........

Enjoy,

VVHT

Big thanks to this board for pointing me toward the Route Taxis, can't believe how much I have saved over the years!!!
