Crime, Safety, and the Police

What would be super nice is if we had mototaxis. In Caracas Venezuela there are mototaxis everywhere. It's just a guy on a motorcycle who will taxi you where you need to go. It's dirt dirt cheap and the fastest way to get somewhere. Maybe not the safest or most secure mode of transport, but definitely cheap and convenient.

Moto taxis in Thailand are an adrenaline rush.

If you survive. .

Not sure, but I believe the taxi buses list the rare on the van. It would be nice if we had these vans in the US. It is very inconvenient to take the bus in many residential areas.

Which one is this?

Her name is Kayra but she hasn't been on the Goodgirls site for at least a couple months. Speaking of Goodgirls, they've cycled through nearly their entire lineup in the past few months. I'm looking forward to my next trip to try some of the newer chicas.

Or you can pay 1200-1600 for an awesome escort session. I rely on Queens and Goodgirls. Here's one from Goodgirls who was even kind enough to visit me in the Zona (Hotel Coahuila).

We have similar vans called "jitneys" that still operate in some parts of the USA, most notably Atlantic City (New Jersey) where they circuit around the various casinos in the city. Jitneys were more prevalent decades ago, particularly in minority / low-income areas where other transportation options were limited, but mostly died off with increased competition from taxis and mass public transportation becoming more accessible. Some smaller cities also have similar-sized buses as their main method of public transportation.

If price, quality & service was more reasonable I would gladly see the club girls. The problem is that either you the have SG's that give lame service or you have the clob girls that want $100 min. These days Cathy is the only SG I will see. Cathy is very hot. But her services are very limited.

50 pesos obviously a typo. Every poster on here who has taken the bus knew I meant 50 cents. Its called common sense. If one uses common sense in English language its a lot easier to understand conversation. Like last month when I said, if time Flys in Hong Kong, you would write, "impossible time has no wings" I've never seen anyone with no ability to follow along. Even when you understand what I write, you decide it must be false. You never had a 5 dollar uber ride so, of course, its impossible, anything that can be possible in the world, is only true if you've experienced it. There's also no stop sign crossing that street and no break in cars so you have to walk in front of moving cars.

Very short report but as expected, not short on lies and distortions.

1. There is no $50 peso bus. This is a flat out lie.

2. The end of the walkway is a high foot traffic area. It's almost like a cul-de-sac because cars have to slow down and make the you-turn to proceed to get out of that area. There is that one side street to turn right just past Milenio but barely anyone does down that street. So when you cross, pretty much every car is either about to enter a you-turn, or just emerged from a you-turn, so they are traveling at greatly reduced speed. It's not like a car can whizz by at 40 mph. Plus, that is a very high foot traffic area so the vast majority of cars are driving slow. No way did multiple cars just barely miss hitting you by a foot, especially at 6 pm on a Friday. That is a flat out lie.

3. The standard Uber rate from PedEast to HK is around $40 mx. To say that it was around $100 mx, I'm not going to say impossible, but unlikely. Uber rates do surge, especially at prime pickup times, but 2.5 x the usual rate is unlikely.

Around five years ago I was riding in carpools from Orange County organized by Dick Army from the defunct old T. J. Amigos site.

He and his group of adventures showed me how to take a 12.5 peso fare yellow & white bus from the border area actually right to La Zona.

This full-size Yellow & White bus picks up passengers in the same basic area of Av. De la Amistad where the line is for Taxi Libras.

The bus crosses the river and heads back north on Constitution towards La Zona. The bus turns left on 1st street (Primera), where I get off it right in front of Bar Taurino.

Red Bus at peak time was 18 pesos was the last time I was down there. I think I paid 10 or 15 pesos from end of walk way to burger king.

[ClamSlammer]

My routine has always been to jump on the 50 pesos bus to centro. Tonight I tried uber due to others saying they do it. Just getting across the street was dangerous with cars missing me by a foot. Uber said 5 bucks at 6 pm. I stick to the bus.

I hear you also upgraded to street hookers who are just heroin addicts. Before. It was all meth addicts with half teeth missing. You are way to classy for most to keep up with.

I have seen cops either parked over to the side after you get through the border turnstile into Tijuana or standing in the center strip as you cross the street to the taxi line the past couple of times I've been as well as some other times. But your point about too many witnesses present is noted, thanks. OK. Thanks for the tip on the Farmacia. I see where it is. Across the street after you enter Tijuana, to the right past the public banos where there's that big pharmacy. I'd never walked down that far. Will try Uber from there next time.

Yeah, I've taken the 10 peso shuttle from the border to near Zona Norte a couple times before. Pretty straightforward. I believe both times I've gotten off on or around Revolucion as I'm more familiar with that street. Don't know if the stop there is a further distance than the 3 ra / Constitucion stop you mention but it was a short walk to Zona Norte from there.

Wait, you're reluctant to cross the street to Farmacia Milenio at night? Why? There's always a million people in that immediate area, no way can any ratero try to do anything there.

I don't ever remember seeing cops in that area. Besides, there's way too many witnesses present for the cops to try and steal from anybody there. Most Ubers pick up around Farmacia Milenio which is right across the street from the end of the walkway. If you don't want to wait for an Uber and are feeling adventurous, you can take the bus / shuttle to Dax on 3 ra and Constitucion. For $10 mx, it drops you off about 2. 5 blocks directly south of La Malquerida. It's a short walk, I've done it myself countless times myself late at night. The block between 2 da and 1 ra is somewhat sketchy, but not an extreme high risk area.

I have only had problems twice walking to and from Zona. About 2 years a ratero demanded money from me on the pedestrian bridge. About a month ago a cop tried to shake me down by the east end of the old shopping center where the McDonalds used to be. These days I am more cautious and take Uber or a cab after 9 pm.
