Cab Drivers, We live Here

We live here. Yes, we have a car. Yes, we ride the Combi's regularly.

We drive to places like Bodega Aurerra and Soriana weekly.

We take cabs to the movies, dinner, when we have our hands really full. We have NEVER had a ride that scared us or intimidated us. Very occasionally we will look at each other an call it an "E ticket ride."

We hail our cabs by raising our arms, either in front of our house or on the street wherever we are. We don't need a "favorite" although there is nothing wrong with that.

Just wanted to convey that taxi's are fine and generally do a good job. We use them regularly and hope others will too.

I agree. We don't live there in paradise - but in all the years we have been visiting(17) we have never had a problem with the taxistas. In fact, the opposite is true. In our experience they have been helpful and polite.... always willing to chat, give an informal Spanish lesson, pass along information,and offering to return or wait.
I'm not doubting that some may have had a bad experience, just saying that there is, in my opinion, no reason to write off all as bad guys.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Most cab drivers here are good people and they provide a quality service.
