By Taxi

Taxis can be a bargain if you follow a few simple rules. Try to stick with the metered taxis. Make sure the meter is turned on. If the driver refuses demand him to pull over and hale another one. They come along quite frequently. If using a tuk-tuk, be sure to negociate the rate ahead of time. Beware of those drivers that are eager to take you any where other then what you requested. It isn't unusual to be taken somewhere that pays the drivers a commision and charges you much more than what you could normaly find on your own. If your being taxed any where you haven't been before, do your home work in being able to recognize that your at the right place when you get there (i.e. viewing a picture of it befor hand or knowing what to look for.) reason being, I've seen first hand how if a driver has trouble finding your destination, he well drop you anywhere, tell you your there and collect the fair. If your not satisfied, question them. Usualy they well either try harder to find your destination or drop you to hale another taxi without charging for the fair.
