Taxi Rates

Higher rates are now posted at the la ropa and madera taxi stands. Every driver today was indignant when showed the official tweet in response to higher rates. Really sucks trying to do the right thing and being stuck between the taxi companies and the regulators. I've used the reporting number on the tweet with no response. Feels like this is going to be like the combi rates going up this fall when the official change just came later. I totally understand the rationale for holding the line, and the rationale for costs going up. It doesn't seem sustainable to be in constant conflict with a service we depend on. We see the same drivers all the time. I guess not everything can be perfect in paradise... Probably time to get a car and vote with my pesos that way.

Taxi sitios at hotels are for some unknown reason allowed to exceed the official rate, but the ones at the beaches are simply taking advantage.
