Safari Protest: 2
Filed under: Uncategorized
so the safari drives got their wish partially .
Dollar taxi fares
The new fare structure for "dollar taxis" operating as public transportation
along a fixed route on St. Thomas is as follows:
$1 for
- All senior citizens traveling to any point on the island.
- All schoolchildren in school uniform going to and from school campuses.
- Passengers traveling to any point in town between the University of the Virgin
Islands and Schneider Hospital.
- Passengers traveling to points betweenthe hospital and PriceSmart.
- Passengers traveling from one point to another in the country.
$2 for
- Passengers traveling from the hospital to PriceSmart and beyond.
- Passengers traveling from PriceSmart and beyond to anywhere in town.
The temporary $1 per passenger surcharge implemented June 1 does not apply to situations in which the taxi is performing the "dollar run."
Some Questions
Now that school is over what do school children pay ? do they pay the same price as everybody ?
and how do safari drivers know what I should pay ? Say I get on at the sugar estate post office and then get off at market square east. I now I'm supposed to pay 2 dollars by the new rules but is the safari drive supposed to remember i got on the Post office and not at the Roy L. Schneider Hospital (which is about a block way and should only pay at dollar for the tip to market square east).
