Two Toyota Prius finaly started working

Today it's the first time I've seen the new Toyota Prius Plus finaly working here in Puerto Rico. If I'm right both started working yesterday. One of them is licence number 18 and the other 155. Currently they seem to be driving very slowly... let's see how they drive in a few weeks time :P
It took quite long for them to start working as they where probably waiting for the 7 seater permission. There are no 7 seaters here in Mogan; max 5. I thing it has not been approved yet, and I think that it won't happen either. Let's wait and see ;)

New Motorway open!

Today is the day that the new road from Puerto Rico to Mogan will be opened. I don't know at what time this will be but I hope I get a chance to drive down to Mogan and give a a try :)

The trip is only 6,5 Kilometres long and has 4 new tunnels. There is an access to Taurito as well but only driving from Puerto Rico, not from Mogan. So if you drive from Mogan to Taurito or the other way arround you'll still have to use the old road. 

I drove by at about 12:00 and they were fireworks so I think they will open it soon :)

Reaching 500.000

I'm glad to post that our car is now reaching half a million kilometers without any major problems. It's ben almost 2 years now we started working with this car and it is really giving us good results. We haven't spend over 2,500€ in repairs sso that is really great.
Recently many Mercedes have ben replaced by Toyotas here in Mogan and they are also giving great results. The few Seat Altea we had alare slowely dissapearing and also being replaced by Toyotas. There is also a Prius Plus that should start working soon; the first hybrid car as a taxi here in the south of the island :) I'm really looking forward to see how this car will perform here in Mogan with all these hills and turns :)

Trouble with Anfi

You know the Anfi resort in Puerto Rico?
Well, if you've ever been to Puerto Rico you probably know it.
The Taxi central in Mogan it's been working with Anfi for a long time know and we've been accepting their way of working with us till now.

We are driving many Anfi customers and "maybe" customers with so called "Taxi Slips". We drive, the customer gives us the "Taxi Slip" and then we go back to Anfi to get our money on the fly. We have arranged a deal and in most cases we receive less money than the trip is worth but we agreed to do so.

So what's the problem know?
Now Anfi says they want to pay us in three month (!) What is that? Yes, we drive a customer to Puerto Rico for 5€ (Taxi Slip) and we'll get those 5€ three month later. I don't know what those people are thinking but we do not agree with this as we still have to pay for insurance, fuel, repairs and other stuff and we surely cannot pay them with Taxi Slips but with real cash.
As Anfi doesn't seem to care about that the only way to make them clear we disagree is to block Anfi from receiving our service. This includes the whole Anfi resort in Puerto Rico (Anfi Beach Club, Monte Anfi, Puerto Anfi and Grand Anfi) and in Tauro (Anfi Emerald Club and the Anfi Golf Courses). We will continue to bring customers to the those locations but there won't be any pickups. The blocking started at Monday the 2nd of November and it is not defined when it will be finished. Let's hope that both parts come to a solution soon.

Working in a Taxi

Working in a taxi makes you meet lots of people every day and sometimes see and/or live strange and/or funny (or maybe not so funny) situations.
I thought a blog could be a great way to let people read and comment some of these situations we live on a daily basis here in Puerto Rico (Mogán).
