holiday taxi fare increase ?

Last night 12.24.21 I experienced a doubling of the normal cab fare from El Centro to Las Mesas at 11 pm. This was not quite a 5 minute ride. The first cab I stopped quoted me $150 MXN while a second one was $120 MXN, there were not many to be had so I went with the second. The usual rate has been $75 pesos . My usual tip for a good driver was omitted last night at the inflated rate. I wonder what the rate would be after midnight? It does pay to ask before jumping in the cab.

You should always expect to pay extra for taxis on holidays and be grateful they're working instead of enjoying time with their family like everyone else.
