Route Taxi Fares

[Rob]

I am just reflecting on this topic and wonder what the local/driver perspective is? Is it impolite as a visitor to expect a local rate? Is it more respectful to charter a taxi? I have used the route taxi system for the last few years, and never have a problem, just curious.

By law, route taxis are not allowed to discriminate, they are supposed to treat everyone the same.

But for many passengers it is their only affordable way of getting around. Chartering a driver is beyond their means.

Keep that in mind and there should not be a problem.
