Maybe a tourist can't afford the jacked up prices. Would you prefer they stay at home instead? I understand paying a little extra for a route fare, but I, for instance, will not pay a route driver charter prices. Some of them get pissed. If that's the case, they can have $0, and I'll get another ride.
This comes down to knowing the route taxi system. Since it was designed as an inexpensive way for the population to move about, it can be confusing to visitors who are unfamiliar with the system. That is why JUTA was created over 40 years ago when the Jamaican government realized the potential of the tourism industry in the country and decided to reorganize the ground transportation services. This was the first transport system designed with the visitors in mind. JCal and Maxi Tours have been added to the tourism transport sector.Originally Posted by RyanP
Being born in Jamaica, you learn the route taxi system before you attend school. As a visitor to the island, you do not have that luxury of experience. Even frequent visitors to the island can get into serious trouble by not truly knowing the route taxi system.
How much is your safety worth to you? Only you can make that decision. All the drivers in our Transport section are experienced in handling all of our visitors' needs. You will pay more than a route taxi, but "paying a little extra for a route taxi", you are already paying more than a route taxi.... and that makes that "route taxi" become a "Charter Taxi" instantly.
