I agree with you about remember what you paid last time but also when they see me the gringo they charge me double sometimes triple not all of them but most. So me and my wife did an experiment she gets the taxi while i am behind the car and she gets the price than i come over and we go and the price is good than next time i get the taxi and is funny how the price goes up so now i use uber about 90% of the time because the taxisare not regulated or metered where i am.

Where I live there are no meters, zones or guild lines. One’s best bet is to remember what the charge was for the last ride and simply give the current driver the same. This goes smoothly if one takes care to have the correct amount on hand. Asking for change always costs more because no taxi driver ever has change. That’s what they tell the customer at least.

I like to take buses from city to city, and rely on taxis when I get where I’m going. Overall cost of transportation for a road trip is much less than the cost of gas, tolls and occasional extortion by the police.
