New Taxi Fares

I had to use actual math and guess on a few of them, and there were a few inconsistencies in their rate sheets in which cases I took the lesser rate (they charge more to RETURN to La Puerta from Ixtapa than to GO to Ixtapa from La Puerta, for example, so let's all call BS to stuff like that, similar inconsistencies with to and from La Marina from Ixtapa's Centro Comercial). I don't include the partes altas of the colonias, but generally add 5 or 10 pesos for going up any hills. They want to charge more to take you from the Centro Comercial in Ixtapa to La Marina or the Centro of Zihuatanejo to La Ropa than from the Centro of Zihuatanejo to Agua de Correa (which is 3 times the distance of either of the other trips), and I say BS to that, too. So there may be a few inconsistencies.

I expect, and there already has been, a huge uproar from the public. These rates mean that some kids won't be going to school and some workers won't be able to get to work (or else they won't be eating). It's an outrage to a lot of folks who rely on taxis.

Feel free to voice your experiences here. Please don't take out any anger on the drivers. It's not their fault.
