Treasure beach to Junction is 15 miles,..the fare is $300. Why is that so
By bigga on Friday, October 12, 2012 - 07:24 pm: Edit PostMust be all them there hills troubled. Plus the red dirt dirty up the taxi too much.

By Fred Ricard on Friday, October 12, 2012 - 07:57 pm: Edit PostBecause Junction is uphill so it requires more fuel to get there. Coming down, the brakes get lots of use- wear and tear. Makes sense to me why the higher fare to Junction.
By Rebecca on Saturday, October 13, 2012 - 07:46 am: Edit PostIt takes longer to get to Junction than Black River. You can get to Black River in about 30 minutes and Junction is about 40 minutes. So in miles it might be the same, but the road conditions make it a longer (in time) journey.
By passenger on Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 12:13 am: Edit Postthey just base the price off the fact that they charge a $100 from junction to southfield, $100 from southfield to crossroad and $100 from crossroad to treasure beach. its the most expensive route. there are other areas with hill such as junction to mandeville yet the fare is $ 200
By bigga on Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 10:10 pm: Edit PostOther things such as supply and demand may be at play here. For example, many more taxis may be on the route from Junction to Mandeville vs Treasure Beach to Junction and is probably based on the passenger demand for either trip.
