Taxis
Unoccupied taxis may be hailed with a decisive wave. You may also arrange to be picked up from home by calling the taxi company (you will not be charged for the drive to collect you).
Taxis come in three sizes: small (4- person capacity), and medium and large (5- person capacity). A taxi sign will be displayed on the roof of the car.
Once you have arrived at your destination you will need to pay the fare displayed on the meter. There is no need for a tip. Extra charges will be added for trips between 10 pm and 5 am, and during the winter.
