Taxi Bogotá
TAXI (Bogotá) – Taxis can be a good way to get around Bogotá, especially if you are going to travel a longer distance, head to a residential address located off the main transport routes, or head to the airport with lots of luggage. However, make sure you only use radio taxis — that is, phone a taxi company that will give you a code as well as the license plate of the taxi that will pick you up. When the taxi picks you up, the driver should be able to tell you the code that was given to you by the operator. This is to ensure the taxi you are taking is secure. Wherever you stay in Bogota, whether a hotel or a hostel, someone should be able to recommend a reliable taxi company should you decide on this method of transportation. Like in most places, taxis in Bogota run on metres which will tell you how much you should pay. Make sure the driver has the meter on when you get in the taxi in order to receive a fair, metered price. The minimum fare should be COP$3,000 (US$2.)
