The deejay was completely upset, interrupting the CD she was playing. How could a trip which cost her R15 cost a tourist R300? Eventually a taxi operator called in to cut through all the nonsense. It was about misunderstanding the difference between a taxi and a minibus taxi. Using the former means that you pay per kilometre, irrespective of the number of people who get into the taxi, to a destination you decide. Using the latter implies that you pay a fixed cost per person and the drop-off points are predetermined for you along a specific route. And there is little difference in cost for the trip if the minibus taxi were carrying 20 people.}, journal={Lexikos}, author={Benjamin, Michael}, year={1}, month={1} }
