In my opinion it has very little to do with the cost of the taxi,it has to do with the safety of the passenger.Why does a person have to be on your "A" game all the time. It's not the tourist's fault !!! the locals have to get a better system. I still find it best to get a taxi from the driver's at the bar OR !!! bar called taxi at night.In the day I go route taxi's and most say they get about 20-25% of their business during Dec-Apr from tourists...that's quite abit. If I'm alone in a route taxi I usually give him an extra 100J. If your in parts of Jamaica that is not tourist driven then switch to their systems,if your in an area that is tourist driven let them switch to cater to the demand.SAFETY IS THE BIG ISSUE !!!!
