The new route taxi look!

[wrtiii]

Since I just followed the link: The actual chart is at http://www.ta.org.jm/documents/Fares...stmoreland.pdf

It last changed in 2013, and it appears to be JA$120 along the beach road and JA$165 from the beach to the West End. The chart is pretty confusing actually, because the relevant lines are:

BEACH ROAD to NEGRIL $130.00
NEGRIL SPOT to NEGRIL $120.00
NORMAN MANLEY BOULEVARD to NEGRIL $120.00
WEST END to NEGRIL $130.00
BEACH ROAD to WEST END $165.00
NORMAN MANLEY BOULEVARD to WEST END $165.00

I assume "Negril" means the taxi stand at the roundabout.

The official Negril taxi stand is the bus park just past the police station.

Can someone local shed light on the tourist authorities table? Is the price from beach road to roundabout 130? and roundabout to cliffs $130? I know, I know..... route taxis are meant for locals. Just would like to know the price for my information, and because I have been know to pay for a few (or more) peoples fares.

Thanks for sharing that bit of culinary advice, Cap. I'm not just a little nutty about peanut butter so I'll have to give it a try.

OK, now I'm genuinely curious. I've never had a route cab actually stop there. They seem always to stop by the roundabout (either just before or just after), or pull into the parking lot by the cambio at the roundabout. Has it just been that my limited experiences were unusual?

Can any of the Negril experts or residents explain the confusing things in the Transport Authority's list?

What is the difference between Norman Manley Blvd and Beach Road (there's a $10 fare difference)?
Are there route taxies that have routes between Beach Road and the West End for the stated $165 fare?
What is Negril Spot?
