"Pan", here's a favorite of the "Taxistas", they quote you one price, then intimidate you into paying more when you reach your destination.
They get a % of whatever you spend in any restaurant, bar, nightclub, whore house,and some"Tourist Trap" stores where they take you.
They ask you to buy some "Gasoline" but then expect the full fare.
They NEVER have change!
When you go to a bar, or restaurant, they invite themselves to be your guest!
They are all your "Mejor Amigo" for a price.
AND, the absolute WORST, are, as has been said, the returned "Dominican Jerks"!
Call Apollo Taxi, and ask the dispatcher for the "Tarifa" to & from your destination, then pay that!
If the taxi driver asks for more, make him call the dispatcher.
He won't want to, and he'll take the money you offered!
In the DR, to survive, you have to "Out Tigre The Tigres"!
