Definitive Taxi fare charts in peso's

[ggunn]

We stay at Blue Angel. When we catch a ride to town I just hand the guy a $10 bill and they seemed pleased enough. For me it would be too much trouble to try and figure out the correct amount.

At over twice the fare I guess they are pleased. Do they follow you around wherever you go?

I have no problem with charitable donations, but I would encourage them to be given to some folks who are much more destitute and/or disabled than a taxi driver.

I remember one broken man on the ferry with no legs.......

You do realize how low your trouble threshold is?

How do you know the plight of some guy who drives a cab or how many children he might have and how many mouths he has to feed? I know I don't.

You lost me on the entire "trouble threshold"?

Perhaps there will be a little competition in the future:

Uber to be regulated in Quintana Roo

Then again in Cancun this news was met by a narco style banner declaring they were going to cut the heads off Uber drivers

FWIW, during my last 13 day visit to the island only once did a cab driver tell me that he did not have change for (for example) a 100 peso note for an 80 peso fare. It used to be the norm but apparently now not so much, or not in my small sample size, anyway.

I think you can take that with a pound of salt.......remember who runs the taxis....

It's always a bit amusing to me how some folks in here talk about the "taxi mafia", as if that sort of thing doesn't ever happen here. Get crosswise with the Teamsters or Longshoremen here in the States sometime.
