I've never used a route taxi to run errands before. Was it an actual route taxi, or a taxi with a red license plate that you hired? I thought routes were like buses where you "pull the cord" when you want to get off. Versus hiring a driver to take you somewhere, wait, then take you back. Perhaps that's why he seemed annoyed? Perhaps, I'm wrong!
I want to add that I'm asking out of curiosity. I'm still not 100% confident on the route taxis and I try to learn as much as I can so I can make sure I'm "doing it right".
Edited to add, when I get in a route taxi, I have my $200 ready, tell the driver where I'm going and get out when he stops. I never agree on a price because I pay the route price (well, actually a little more as you can see - please no comments on overpaying. It's like $.40 and I don't need the change). So I'm curious why you would use a route taxi as a hired taxi, I guess is what I'm saying... There are taxis that have red plates that aren't "route" taxis, correct? Thanks for the clarification! I'm always learning!
