bdlngton Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Can anybody give me an idea of what it costs to take a taxi or private car service to the bus station in Tonala? Please don't tell me about taking the Chapala bus to Alamo and them a taxi to the bus station as I am asking for someone else who is not comfortable doing that.

dboisclair Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 A taxi is picking me up tomorrow at the HDI office in Guadalajara (next to Plaza las Torres) and bringing me back to Ajijic for 550 Pesos. I've never been to the bus station in Tonala but it looks to be the same distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 500/550 alex peterson. pre gas rise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Last time I heard, Alex was pretty busy 'going to the border' and is often hard to get in touch with. Has this changed enough so that someone could get a ride to/from the bus station on fairly short notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yes he can be busy. but only goes up north every month or six weeks. worth a call .miramontes are good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xena Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 What do "fkn cheek" and "nob" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I am guessing "nob" is one of my favourite Canadian expressions, spelled more correctly "knob", which is an insult aimed at doofuses. The etymology is unclear, but I would say it represents "You are as smart as a doorknob". Sorta like "hoser", which is used most often when referring to an "arse"...

Xena Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Classy. Really classy. So, I guess fkn cheek is also an insult. Not exactly using his big boy words, is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 What has changed is apparently there are some uber cars available in Chapala/Ajijic. A kind soul has suggested this number - 3311593486 . Really, it should be booked from a smartphone with the uber app. They used to require a Mexican credit card to activate your account - but I believe cash to the driver is now acceptable. Who is going to be our test subject? Don't forget that in well developed markets they also provide shared fares, but you will most likely be travelling with strangers - but saving a lot of pesos. https://www.uber.com/en-MX/cities/guadalajara/ Uber says 788 pesos from Chapala Centro to Tonala Centro.

Xena Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I expect you would either ignore the statement (people do it all the time) or manage to express yourself in a less juvenile or trashy manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelsZ4 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Be careful using UBER, Their pricing can change.. They have a pricing system that can change due to demand.. Many people NOB have been caught out by their pricing system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenE Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 If you have the Uber app, you can see the price before confirming the ride. I do not have a Mexican credit card and use the same app here as I use NOB (north of border). Just a couple weeks ago, I waited at the GDL airport for half an hour for a car that never showed, though the app said "Here Now" at the end of half an hour of waiting for a six-minute estimate that kept changing. I had to cancel (incurring a fee) and reorder . The app took me through two more drivers before one finally showed up. The quote was for $264MX from the airport to San Antonio Tlayacapan but then they charged me $85MX and even though I wrote to Uber they did not charge me more and I still worry about that nice man who drove me home and hope they gave him the right amount for his driving. Around town here, it has been hit and miss: two out of three Ubers showed up right away and the price was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
