Taxi Fare update?

yes route taxis are a set cost and I always use them in JA. If they have room in their cab and pick you up you ride the same as other people--Jamaican or from foreign. I don't agree with the idea that if you are not from JA you should pay more money--the subway in NYC does not charge more for tourists than locals, or the taxi cabs for that matter. If I have any extra money I tip--but do not feel obligated to do so. Charter taxis in JA on the other hand, you have to negotiate a price and pay more. I am always on a real budget when on trips as it is a big thing for me to even pay for trips when I can afford them--so route taxis are my mode of transportation.
