DandyDon:
42 ¢. Like, so what?


Usually, but not always. There are plenty of drivers who love to gouge gringos.

At 32 or 42 cents, it's a pretty gentle gouging. I'm pretty sure I can stand it.

Well, sure - but I think we are discussing legitimate surcharges. Flyboy mentioned that they are always cheap, so my gouging remark was to him about the exceptions.

That's like, what, 32 cents US?

Um thanks? I asked what the price was, not what it converted to in dollars. One doesn't know that it is inexpensive until the question is asked and answered.

Thanks to those that actually answered the question.

What, you didn't know that 8 pesos is a very small sum? But for whatever I said that offended you, I apologize profusely.

He simply wanted to know what the surcharge was. His answer was 8 pesos.

Which is a virtually insignificant amount of money at current exchange rates. This is, after all, a discussion board, not a question and answer board.

Again, my intent was not to offend anyone.
 
Surcharges (2016 rate chart) in pesos

Radio dispatch =$8
Supermarket or taxi queue = $8
