Route taxi's always try to get my business when I'm walking the beach road -- perhaps "stop to ask if I need a ride" is not literally what they do, but when a route taxi honks, pulls over and leans toward the passenger door, or leans out their window, it's a pretty clear sign they want my business. Or the ones that do a u turn so they can pull up next to you - that's pretty clear as well.

Some of the information in this thread is mind boggling.
