Route Taxis fares are set. Please see the links in my earlier post for the official fares for various routes. These fares only apply if you stay within their assigned.

However Route Taxis can turn into a "private" taxi and go beyond the boundaries of their assigned route as was mentioned earlier. Then the fares are negotiable between you and the driver.

We personally enjoy using Route Taxis for the personal interaction with the drivers and other local passengers. The vast majority of them are friendly, entertaining and informative.
