Taxi

Cabs are very convenient here, and cheap. If you don't feel like scootering, walking or bike riding, take a cab... very nice for long distances. Emily and I took a cab to the bus station this weekend and when the driver pulled into a parking lot to let us out he nearly drove off the side of the streed into a huge ditch where they were doing construction. If you find yourself in a situation like this stay calm. The driver will most likely get out, chuck your bag out of the trunk onto the pavement, mutter some strange things under his breath and drive away without looking at you. This happened to us. We were standing there with our money out but he just completely ignored us and drove away. I guess cab drivers feel that when they nearly kill the passengers, they should not be required to pay. We appreciated his thoughtfulness!!
