Love these stories! We have also had no bad experiences with cab drivers in Zihua. Always very honest, helpful and polite!

In eleven years Mrs. B and I have encountered only one dishonest taxi driver in Zih. After agreeing to the fare prior to getting in, he charged us more upon arrival. We just payed him. Every other driver has been the BEST. We find the taxi drivers in Zih above the best of any other place we've been.

Why not share his name and number so that others may give him some business?

I must share a heart warming story, & hope I didn't already. Last week while a group of us were leaving La Ropa, the combi's were so full we took a couple of taxis. Later in the evening, our friend Steve told us how he dropped his wallet in the taxi with over 1000 pesos in it. I asked he he knew the number, but he did not take note. (which I thought all did & he does now). I said most are very honest & just call the cab company & let them know where & time etc. He did not, but the next day, a cab picked him up. He told the driver how stupid he felt & should he call the company? Driver said "are you sad?" he said no, embarrassed! Driver reaches under the seat pulls out his wallet & says " are you now happy?"!! Yes, it was the same driver who had dropped him off & drove around & around trying to return his wallet! He had dropped them @ Plaza Kyoto, so didn't know where to go. Saw him the next day & picked Steve up. Steve didn't recognize him. Long story, but he had 2000 not 1000, still in his wallet, tipped & then Steve made up a bunch of cards with Olivers name phone # & cab #470 & passed them out to everyone he knew!!! We got a ride from him the next nite, by chance & when I called him by his name, he looked puzzled until I told him Steve told us & proud he was so honest, as I had told him most were. He said he'd already had many calls!! Great guy & just one of many good stories of cabbies I could tell!!

I love these kind of stories. Distribution of wealth on the sly! A small price to pay to make the world a better place!

It is nice to see some good experiences with taxi drivers. This year was my first time having as many issues with them and although nothing major, it was annoying. But also had a couple of them that were awesome.

We've had many wonderful, above-and-beyond experiences with Zihua choferes.

Yesterday while waiting for the combi on the la Ropa road by the Dolphins, a cab driver stopped despite me waving him onward. I was holding my laundry bag and he said "jump in and I will take you to the lavandera for ten pesos. Sounded good so jumped in. He then noticed a very old Mexican fellow by the road and he asked him if he was going downtown. The old fellow said yes but that he had no money. The taxi driver said "hop in, he's paying" while motioning to me! A hundred meters down the road he did the same thing with a middle aged lady. What an altruistic young man! It turned out the laundry by Plaza Kioto was closed so he actually drove me to another one. I wish I took note of his cab number! He refused to accept any more than the ten pesos we agreed on!
