MORE Route-Taxi-101 video soon-come
....e.g., proper hand-signals for hailing a taxi

the *interview* was done inside Micheal's taxi, 'cause it was raining .... and he was chilling waiting for liquid-sunshine to stop, so he could go-back to work.

i wanted to get photos of several route-taxis, so you-all could see how nice many/most of them are now-days .... Micheal's taxi is one of the slightly older taxis .... but there're many many NEWer models on the roads.

in a prior *interview* when talking about taxi-cleanliness, i wanted to mention that even the taxi wheel-wells are washed EVERY-NIGHT.... those taxis are spotless

regarding the 'stinky passengers' ---- that was a dumb question, 'cause this is NOT an issue,,, but i KNOW some folks have a concern about this item.

mi no know why or how, but body-odor seems non-exisitent in a route-taxi full-up with passengers.

an aside::>> while in Jamaica my normally funky-body-odor disappears .... tru tru, i might be sweaty, but not funky .... one of those Ja-puzzlements.
