¡Taxi! Facts and links |
|
You can hail taxis in the street or book them by phone. They all have meters, though you can expect to pay the usual supplements for extra passengers, luggage, and journeys late at night, on a Sunday or during los días de fiesta, bank-holidays. It's customary to give a tip by rounding up the bill. In other Spanish-speaking countries you'll find collective taxis, which are a cross between taxi and bus. They can pick up different passengers during a single trip or one single group of strangers with drop-off points along the same route and are called colectivos, in Mexico, or por puestos, in Venezuela.
