Increase in transportation costs

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.
