before going anywhere,a price must be agreed upon for a taxi ride. Taxi are plentiful,so bargaining for a good price is not too difficult. Most taxis are air conditioned and for the most part the drivers can speak english. A 7% government tax is part of the cost of taking a taxi and depending on when a taxi is needed,the fares will jump up either late at night or in heavy traffic. tipping is not customary when taking a taxi. additional passengers are not charges,neither is baggage.
