On the Subject of Taxis....

Right - thanks.
What was throwing me off was the idea that I shouldn't be using route taxis. It seems if a red plate stops for me, I just look at it that he wants my business, route cab or not. And if I want to ride further than the route posted on the side of the car, I ask before getting in & we agree on price. Period. I won't worry about the rest.

I'll leave it to those who feel tourists shouldn't use route taxis to come up with a solution, while still deferring to those passengers who are obviously local working people where possible - that's if by chance that a route taxi stops for me before a charter.

Thanks! Time to move on & start packing!

Any legal red plate taxi that stops and asks if you need a ride is perfectly fine to take. They have the space and the time (otherwise they wouldnt have stopped) so there is no reason not to take them. As always, determine the fare before getting in the vehicle.
