Taxi gouging

For the most part I've had very positive experiences with the taxi drivers here since I arrived a month ago. I always inquire as to the price before I get into a cab.

I have actually had two kind drivers who were not going to charge me at all because they didn't have change for a 200 peso note. I managed to scape up 16 pesos for the first driver which he was thankful to receive and the second driver just said no problem, no charge.

That more than makes up for the odd taxi who charges 5 or 10 pesos too much.

AND THERE IT IS...
You have hit upon the most dastardly, corrupt, disingenuous, blasphemous, disrespectful, and unambiguously malicious and insane action on the part of certain taxi drivers...
NOT HAVING ENOUGH CHANGE FOR A 200, AND SOMETIMES 100 PESO NOTE!!

That's precisely why I walk everywhere, every day, every time...
