I might start up a business repairing taxi meters because every time I ask a taxi driver to put his meter on, low and behold, it is broken!
Seriously I would to interested to learn how much others pay for their fares.

Why should we have to give taxi drivers a 100% plus tip? The journey from MacDonalds at the Esplanada to the New Marina comes to 5.30Le on the meter but always costs me 10Le. (the negotiations sometimes start at 40Le!!!)
I now argue like hell with the drivers. I now only pay 7Le from Mcdonalds at the Esplanada to Sheraton Road and 5Le for the same trip back. (it's shorter on the way back). I now pay 10Le from MacDonalds at the Esplanada to Dahar.
I am sure that if more tourists/foreign residents took a firmer stance with the taxi drivers we would not be regarded as easy prey so much.
I would be interested to learn of your experiences.
