We are not saying foreigners should pay more. No problem if you take a route taxi, foreigner or local alike. Just understand the difference in cost to operate the same product as in the United States or Canada. How much does a 20 mile taxi ride cost in Chicago or New York?

New York's economy is also much healthier than Jamaica's. The New York Subway can afford to set prices to that effectively off-set their costs. It's that simple.

We take local taxis all the time. We just give them a little bit more to help them out if we can afford to.
