Another Route Taxi Question

[rompcherry]

Hi, I use Scotiabank ATM and I believe the fees are included in the withdrawal as I use Scotiabank in Canada too and I did not see anyone additional fees below the transaction when I looked it up on line while I was there. I looked back at previous transactions also, and did not see an additional fees for the withdrawals in JA only the fees I paid monthly. I withdrew $25,000 JA mostly when I went to the bank, and it cost me around $276.00 CDN last summer. When I looked this up now $25 J is $290? I tried to find out about fees here and they connected me to Scotia JA and I got no answer. Scotiabank also has western union on line and you can transfer directly from your account. You can send yourself money while in JA and pick it up with two pieces of photo ID. The fees are about $12.00 or so for $25,000 JA. If you bring travellers cheques and cash them in, is there not a cash-in fee at their end when you do this, as well as a fee to purchase them in your own country? If you open an account in JA, what are the fees for holding an account, withdrawals, etcs. Anyone know ... I thought they had high banking fees in JA including monthly fees even if you don't use the account for a period of time?

Melody-
I believe that I used Kone to exchange on a Sunday (might have been a late afternoon Saturday) because the cambio in front of Bourbon Beach was closed. Not sure how late they are open, but I would guess 8 or 9pm.

Sorry if it's already been answered in this thread, but how far does the West End Taxi go? What is the end of its route?

[Homebrewer]

it goes all the way to the taxi park just past the roundabout!

J/K as far as the other direction - I can't answer

I think the West End route goes to about Out of Town Pastry where there is the fork in the road.... but I could be wrong. Ive only taken a route taxi that far once.

If you need to go further than Out of Town Pastry, talk to your route taxi driver when you get that far - he will probably take you further out for a few hundred J.
