p.s. ----- my observation/experience has been that a lot of ex-pats, or folks who spend a lot of time in Negril, get sucked-up into the *game*, and too-frequently skew the information to enhance the profits of the Negril tourist industry.
no biggie
i understand where *they* coming from & why they skew

The Beach Road Route .... Some-more *Details*
.
.
Going in direction from Downtown-to-Rui
this is where it can get a little *tricky*
but no biggie
.
..
.
.
1.... For traveling in this-direction,
you'll need to know the *special* hand signal (above)
....it's not a MUST, but it's helpful.
,,,,,, because there're three (3) other routes that use the beach road
2.... use-ing the *regular* hand/finger pointed DOWN signal
means you're NOT leaving Negril, but want a taxi for the BeachRoad
3.... a raised finger/arm/hand indicates to the on-coming route-taxis that you're going OUT of Negril
...to OrangeBay, or GreenIsland or Lucea (and points inbetween)
4... If/when a taxi stops,
i always double-check
by asking:::>> "..Beach..???.."
and leave it up to the driver if he wants to take me to my BeachRoad destination or not
depending on time of day, number of passengers, etc etc
he might decline, and drive-off, for you to catch another taxi
no biggie
there're PLENTY of taxis
[[[ The End ]]]
any questions...???...

Thanks for the info Smith....didn't know about the hand signals! I'll have to try them out next week LOLOriginally Posted by smith744
Suggestions
If you've never been to Negril before
and not familiar with the route-taxi system
it could/would/will be big-fun,
and worth the time
to hop-in a BeachRoad and/or WestEnd taxi and ride it from one end to the other.
'twill be a well-spent round-trip Ja$400 per person excursion ----- trust me..!!..
a real eye-opener
enjoy your route-taxi rides
:-)
