Taxi Rates

[JitterBug]

newbe, where do you get these facts? . . . are they written somewhere? . . . why should i pay more as a "tourist"? i'm supporting the jamaican economy, the local driver should be good with filling his vehicle with whomever requires the service, whether that be local of foreigner . . . just my 2 cents worth . . .

by using route taxis i don't feel like i'm taking advantage.. i tip if i can but when i go on these trips i usually have to save for months and sometimes taking charter taxis everywhere is not in my budget... i'm a college student.. not a CEO at a mega corporation.. i take these trips to get away and any little bit i spend helps.. whether i'm spending 100j to get from point a to point b or 1000j..

point is that even though i live in america i'm not rolling around with buckets of cash.. just like in Jamaica the prices of items are set according to the average household income.. and its expensive to live anywhere.
