Getting Around Negril 101 [[ continued ]]

.
.
.
The Beach Road Route .... Some-more *Details*
.
.

Going in direction from Downtown-to-Rui

this is where it can get a little *tricky*
but no biggie
.
..


.
.
1.... For traveling in this-direction,
you'll need to know the *special* hand signal (above)
....it's not a MUST, but it's helpful.
,,,,,, because there're three (3) other routes that use the beach road

2.... use-ing the *regular* hand/finger pointed DOWN signal
means you're NOT leaving Negril, but want a taxi for the BeachRoad

3.... a raised finger/arm/hand indicates to the on-coming route-taxis that you're going OUT of Negril
...to OrangeBay, or GreenIsland or Lucea (and points inbetween)

4... If/when a taxi stops,
i always double-check
by asking:::>> "..Beach..???.."

and leave it up to the driver if he wants to take me to my BeachRoad destination or not

depending on time of day, number of passengers, etc etc
he might decline, and drive-off, for you to catch another taxi

no biggie

there're PLENTY of taxis

[[[ The End ]]]

any questions...???...
