Rob, This is just for route Taxis, and not just red plates in general, right?
Is anything being talked about to rein in the white plates posing as taxis? Try to get them legitimized with red plates and proper insurance?4
Thanks

Moose,
This is the new look for route taxis only. The transportation unions (JUTA, JCal, Maxi) are working with the Transport Authority and JTB (Jamaica Tourist Board) in developing a new look for their vehicles as well, but it is a much less critical situation due to the high number of "robot" illegal taxis.
The Transport Authority have been cracking down on illegal taxis hard, impounding vehicles and seizing the plates. Needless to say, any passengers are required to exit the vehicles and find legal transportation. The illegal taxis know what they are doing is illegal and there is no effort being made by the Transport Authority to assist the illegal taxis in "legitimizing" them as they have no desire to be legit in the first place.

What is the Westend and Beach taxi fare these days?
We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
Since I just followed the link: The actual chart is at http://www.ta.org.jm/documents/Fares...stmoreland.pdf
It last changed in 2013, and it appears to be JA$120 along the beach road and JA$165 from the beach to the West End. The chart is pretty confusing actually, because the relevant lines are:
BEACH ROAD to NEGRIL $130.00
NEGRIL SPOT to NEGRIL $120.00
NORMAN MANLEY BOULEVARD to NEGRIL $120.00
WEST END to NEGRIL $130.00
BEACH ROAD to WEST END $165.00
NORMAN MANLEY BOULEVARD to WEST END $165.00
I assume "Negril" means the taxi stand at the roundabout.
