Last time something came up about Sienna on this board I confirmed with her that she was running her business from the states and had local drivers. My driver at that time was driving for her. I will email her to see if this is still the case.
-
Would LOVE to see this as an option, especially since this trip will be a bunch of firsts for us:
1st time HIRING a ride to Negril(always was comped w/ Couples)
1st time changing money .....AND
1st time fighting the sand gravity enough to EXPLORE all of Negril.......an easy to catch "Dollar Ride" would kick butt!!
-
If this is an option...and the word gets out....plenty of business out there to be had!! I hope that it is up and running....great idea IMHO.
-
No one could possibly break even, let alone make money at a $1 US a ride. I do not believe it.

I just got off the phone with Sienna. She is doing well and still running the business from the States. She confirmed that YES, this is a current promotion and to call Barry for a ride. She stressed that it must be a pre-arranged ride because he might not always be close by. The program began as a way for new people to get used to getting out and about in a safe manner but can be used by anyone. Just give Barry a call to arrange a pick-up. Sienna was back on the island last summer and will be back again this summer as well. As some of you may know, she came back to the states to care for her ailing mother. Her mother is doing well and so is Sienna.

great to hear that confirmation BrenJaLee. The posts on thread "restaurant transportation protocol" appeared Feb. 28th and Feb. 29th from two different members. I had just returned from my first trip to Negril on Feb. 26th - would have been great to know while there; although, I took the plunge and did well, no longer a virgin "newbie"!
I agree that the price could be $2 a shot and $4 in the evening and still be a very reasonable, and welcome, well used service...particularly for door to door!
Only problem is, if there's just one guy doing it, it could get very busy and backed up as the word spreads. If he's got a van though, he could do several pick up and drop offs along the line, and I'm sure no one would mind, in fact, may be part of the fun!

I also heard from Sienna by email and the information in the original post is correct.
Money can be made if the volume is there. And I hope people will tip. I plan to give Barry a try in April.
-
That is wonderful!! ...this trip keeps sounding better and better....Did I mention it is next week?
-
Great to hear about Sienna! We took a trip to YS Falls with her and she was so nice.
-
This sounds great, I'm writing down Barry's number and will give him a try when we're down there. And will definitely tip!
