I did not say anything political.
Ridiculous taxi fares is a great way to keep people from leaving their AI hotels and for cruisers to do less on the island.
In a down economy, you don't raise prices, especially when you have too many taxis as is.
I hope this blows up in their face.
Here is the translation, altho still hard to follow: Google TranslateDid you guys see the article about the battle between Tulum and Playa del Carmen taxistas that ended with a bunch of overturned taxis?
How would you like to support yourself and family on what a Cozumel taxi driver makes? Bet you'd be doing a lot of international traveling and diving, huh?
Ahha-so you've met Alberta Mike,too...what a great guy !!I met a diver last year who would buy a bike at the beginning of his trip and sell it/ give it away at the end. Of course, he would stay a couple of weeks.
