AND ''.. with proper sign-age on the sides..''

oooooh:::>>> for the past few years
they've be serioiusly upgrade-ing the taxis
....dem got some sweet route-vans too, that run up & down the roads.

'twas just last night
i rode a nICE route-van back to Lucea

a small *clarification*..::>>> i *think* you're correact... the 'official' fare is 'bout $120 or something something... but i was doing likkle personal 'experiment' to '''test-the-system'', when i gave driver the $100 [[[ grin ]]]
