CABS
I hear a lot on this forum slating drink drivers...however trying to get a cab in La Marina is a real pain. Phoned one...no sorry can't do but he kindly gave me another number which I phoned and this one said yes that's fine can pick you up and drop you. So had a large G&T cos thought good not driving tonight can have a drink. Half hour or so later the phone rings...hello I say...sorry says the voice this is the cab you booked..can't make it after all have an airport pick up and there's a flight delay...oh no that G&T was too big a drink for me to drive myself I will have to cancel the night out. Luckily for me I have a very good friend who doesn't drink so I telephoned and asked for a lift and as luck would have it he wasn't busy...so I can still have my night out on the p as he's giving me a lift...but can't understand for the life of me why La Marina is so short on cabs, no wonder people are tempted to take their cars when they go out...not that I make it right of course...but come on cabbies there's work to be had for you's
There are plenty of illegal taxi's if you ask around......not that I make that right! But the cost of a genuine taxi is silly. I met a family staying on Marina Del Mar 1. From there to Quick save they were charged €7 one way. I took them home for free because i felt sorry for them.
I expect we dont have to may genuine taxi's as they dont get much work in La Marina.......but with those prices Im not surprised.
