The number of taxis circulating in the City is very large, and they are easily recognized because they are painted black and yellow. You can stop and take them directly on the street or request them by phone. Radio taxis (equipped with radio systems) are considered safer. The fare consists of an initial price (known as the “flag drop”) and an additional charge based on distance and time.

It also allows payment with all payment methods. Download it.

The price of the trip will depend on the distance to be traveled and is agreed upon with the agency before starting it.
