    Or you can hire a remis service. If you are going to hire the car for a couple of hours is less expensive.

What do you guys think is the going / fair rate for this type of service?
    Ana Luna would be more than happy to drive you around to see the sites.

    Think of the trees that would be lost when the holier-than-thou, condescending, lordly, ugly Americans started filling out the form. (You know the guys that left the USA because they were unhappy, but yet don’t like Argentina because it’s not like the USA?) Whole forest could be in danger, have you no concern for the environmental crisis? What good would it do anyway, I’m advised that in Argentina “everyone is trying to screw you ”, and ''Trust no Porteno''!

    Portenos could learn something from Philippinos

    See the complaint form below that is offered to taxi customers in the Philippines.

    For our resident taxi expert and official liaison - Sidney:

    What are the chances of this system being adopted in Argentina? (what mumbling do I hear about hell freezing over!@#$%^&)

    I can think of many more Mexican cities are that are much closer than Mexico City. Driving distance, even.

Sure, there will be issues from time to time anywhere you live, but for me BA is as good as it gets!

    As your unpaid shrink I advise you institute a sea change in your thinking and tell yourself-"I will love the BA cabbies, I will love the BA cabbies!". And yes, many will love you in return.

    Not so difficult here-the cabbies require constant vigilance. Elsewise-no problems. Like NYC but with a bit more spanish spoken. Merry Christmas to all!

The employer doesn't have to close his business down and stop making money over the holidays and the employee has an added incentive to work during a holiday. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I find many taxi drivers honest and some that are not, but I don't think this is a very good example of either case.
    I think it’s obvious you have never had a job in the USA, and haven’t got a clue how people get paid.

    BTW I’m off to work now, so I think I have a pretty good feel for how things work here in the USA!

    They were in ''fine form'' tonight. All refused to ''pull the handle'' and all demanded 15 to 50 pesos irregardless of the length or the ride. Golly, I'm sorry to reveal the dishonesty of these fukers. They seem like really nice men needing Christmas money. As we all know, there are no dishonest businessmen in AR!
    Well at least you put me in good company!
