I agree route taxis are the best mode of transportation, at least during the day. This last reach I was able to secure a regular driver at night after a few attempts and it made things super chill. He actually runs a bar and goes out of his way to make sure that his guest are taking care of. I have read of others mentioning to make sure that you get a night time driver and before I didn't make much of an effort. I have learned and going forward I will make sure that I have this figured out from day 1. Negrilaholic I am sorry that you had to deal with this and the good thing is you didn't have anything crappy happen to you. Please continue with your trip report as it is interesting to see your perspective of the goings.
