On the Subject of Taxis....

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

that's not 100% accurate, mi fren

there IS a public transportation route-taxi pick-up point(s) inside the airport area

i've caught route route-taxis from the airport, *INSIDE* on a few occasions

There are no public transportation pick up locations near the arrival area for visitors coming to the island. There are some in the worker drop off areas as well as the shipping areas - but none where the arriving passengers exit the terminal. The previous government's plan was announced in October of 2011, but nothing came of this plan:

not to split hairs,
but it depends on how you define *near*

for me,
it ain't *far*

'bout 1/2-block from the arrival-door

sometimes,
the route-taxi man will drive-pass the arrival-door
and will gladly stop
so passenger can hop in

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
but that *drive-by* is *probably* "..not designed for the tourist/visitor/foreigner..."

he's probably driving-by,
to pick-up returning residents eh

Nothing like an esoteric discussion about taxis........
