Taxi costs
Well, I was last in the DR in July of this year, and that is what he was charging. He even took me all the way from Sosua to a place inland from Rio San Juan for about $80 Canadian which is significantly less than any other taxi service that I have found.
He is very polite and picks me up anywhere I ask and drops me right where I need to go. His car is very clean. He even lent me his car once to drive somewhere that he was not allowed to go in his cab.
When a friend was buying a crib for her in-laws, he came and picked us up at La Sirena and even brought tie-downs for the boxes and mattress so that we could get them to the in-laws house. It was very thoughtful of him, and he obviously had to swing by his house between runs to get the tie-downs because he had the foresight to know that we would need them and that the in-laws probably would not have thought ahead about how they were going to get the crib, etc. home.
You don't get that kind of service every day.
