Google translate can read Spanish and a ton of other languages.

The article you linked to is about a cost increase for the combis (i.e. public transportation). The local combis have been charging this higher rate since last fall so there should be no change again. The report is saying that the state officials are only just now giving approval for a rate increase that has been implemented here in Zihuatanejo since last fall. This article mentions nothing about taxi rates, though I am sure they are related and that signature will be soon to follow if not already done.

Second paragraph, last line:

en el caso de taxis el costo mínimo pasa de 35 a 40 pesos.

Google translate is your friend.

Ah ok, I missed that line. Most of the article and the rate sheets have to do with the combis. I am fluent in spanish, no google translate needed:vivamexico:

The key is what's printed in the Periódico Oficial del Estado de Guerrero. A rather long-winded exercise in self-serving justifications for the rate hike, while of course ignoring that there are too many taxi concessions authorized and that most of the rest of the country doesn't pay anywhere close to what we pay. And of course even though sanctions were threatened for those charging unauthorized rate hikes, and in a few cases in Acapulco actually meted out, here it was a bit fat nothing-burger which is essentially an excuse for them to continue doing it. Welcome to law and order in Guerrero.

Taxis go from 35 to 40 pesos.

Thanks, Jack. I'll get my webpages updated as soon as I can get a hold of the new authorized rate sheets. Much appreciated.
