I don't think that any one of us should be speculating and discussing Lenbert's "business". It is a genius idea and so much fun! Kudos to Lenbert! If you do not like how it works, then don't participate.
We stay on the Ochi side too and every time a cruise ships comes into the port, all prices in town go up...just the way the business works. Again, if you don't like it, don't go into Ochi on a cruise ship day.
Lenbert provides an awesome service for visitors and for the local businesses. To do a pub crawl on your own would surely cost more in transportation than using Lenbert and "possibly" paying a little more for your drinks.
Cool runnings!
No speculation on my part. I have heard this from several business owners on the West End. He is in no way gouging anyone, and I see zero issue with him charging to bring people by. He is bringing them new business, and it is up to the owner of the establishment to take advantage of the extra footsteps. He also does not charge the passengers, and you can tip what you want when the ride is over. This is a win for everybody involved.

Quite the contrary. As Marko stated, you can get beers much cheaper at numerous bars on the West End. You can also pay more, such as Ivan's and Margaritaville. Transportation cost in Jamaica are cheap, whether you use public transportation or a private driver.
Hopefully my initial reply was not taken as a knock on Lembert, as that was not my intent. He has found his niche and it appears it is working well.
