you can also get a pre paid taxi at the airport

if I remember it was R700.

These prices look on the high side to me, unless they've gone up recently. All taxi destinations and fixed prices are listed on a board directly in front of you as you leave "Arrivals".

they call rupees "bucks" here.

Ditto 600 in March, prepaid taxi.

600 indian rupees. Not a penny more not a penny less.

Used to be 550 earlier but with the price hike in fuel nowadays some are charging 650. But 600 IR is the right price.

I paid 750R RETURN in January! Best bet is to go with the pre-pay taxi stand. Less hassle and at least you know you're not being fleeced! Or at least check out their price, and make sure to pay less if you're negotiating directly yourself.

how much would it be if i hopped on the local bus? i think i need to make 3 stops, first to Panjim, then Panjim to Mapusa and then finally to Calangute/Baga , not more than 50 bucks am sure!

snowcrab · Sep 14th, 2006, 00:26

Probably not, 10 bucks Panjim to Calangute. Mid afternoon a pleasant ride, sixish welcome to the sardine can.
