Taxi fares up?

Foreigners tipping for no reason is what causes the taxi unions to seek rate hikes just before the tourist season. If they unload your groceries it's one thing. If they just drive you from point A to point B it's another.

Point A was Papa Loca, point B was home on La Madera. A trip that would normally take about 5 minutes, with normal traffic, took about 45 minutes. Hence the generous tip, since he could have had several other trips, rather than being stuck in and around the mess at Plaza Kyoto.
