Confused about Taxi Drivers?

[wrtiii]

Also remember that only vehicles with red license plates (as in mwenvlay's posted picture above) are licensed taxis. Don't use cars with white plates which are "bootlegging" and are not licensed or insured to carry paying customers.

Route cabs are free to act as charter cabs, so don't be surprised if you get in a route cab and the driver asks where you are going and offers to take you there. If you're interested, negotiate the fare right then, don't wait until you get there and he tells you it's $10./person...
