Airport Taxis

I'm all in favor of Collectivos but don't you have to wait for them to get enough passengers to fill up the one to your destination?

They try to scare people into thinking it's going to be an excruciatingly long wait, but it never is. And while you're going through the luggage routine you can often find others who will share the Colectivo with you. Just ask out loud. But if the Transporte Colectivo folks insist on playing games, then yeah, just tell them no thanks and walk out the gate. The difference in cost isn't that great between a Colectivo or a taxi outside the gate. It's just a hassle to haul luggage that far in the sun and heat.

Sorry to see folks give you such a hard time over an honest question. You know they're mostly just having a little sport. Nothing wrong with being frugal.

Un saludo.
