You mean like Toby Smith on PI

Even more reason we need to get a full audit of 16m-18m to 21m-24 to 27m + 31m to complete. If they told you it was 56m to complete imagine how much more it ended up costing. Then you add the interest to pay for it over the next 30 years. Then in the next 10 years they'll say it needs 20m to an overhaul due to no maintenance and that will come with interest.

Another reason it needs an audit: Govt ministers kept claiming its vital for sports tourism but never show any docs on what plans they have to actually return the treasury the likely 80m in total costs (construction, overruns, maintenance, interest on debt) and the costs of whatever events.

Next stop the baseball stadium. If you think 12m on the world relays is alot...

Sounds like they swinging the poor guests

Many sites online show the Bahamas taxi rate structure and its not per person. It's unfortunate what people do here for money

Short term the govt needs to post the rates at the taxi stands by law.

Long term There needs to be competition.

An airport hopper service like the Heathrow has
An Airport public bus (big enough for luggage)
An Uber / lyft like ordering system where you know and prepay the rate
More Tourists prearranging taxis vis their hotels.

Yes if taxis are doing this it's illegal and needs to be reported to the authoritiee. It stains the destination when persons rip off tourists and in the end everyone suffers.

Dishonesty in part fueled.uber and lyft around the usa and taxis are hurting but largely thier fault

One correction: Taxi fares are not per person.
There flat rate generally includes the first (I think 2) passengers depending on where and then a few dollars extra per additional person. So if Airport PI is 50 and you have three it shouldn't be $150. It should be more like 50 + (a smaller additional passenger fare * the additional passengers over the first two)

You may be thinking tours or special hire services. Those are the rate per person. So if the tour is 50 then its 50 times the three passengers.

According to this article www.tribune242.com/news/2012/sep/26/wil… from 2012 the Benz cost $185,000. Unless he saying it cost another 115,000 to retrofit it.

> When asked yesterday if he would use the $185,000 2013 Mercedes Benz purchased by the former government for the office of the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Perry Christie said he is still weighing the option.

"Cause if it doesnt work, the investors get your business (unless you have a rich uncle to pay back the money)"

Only if they are loaning you the money. In case of a failure the creditors get preference before equity investors. A large majority of equity investors, lose out in business failures. Since most failed companies have creditors and they get first dibs and even in those cases they only get partial recovery (since most failed companies have little in assets anyway).

SInce he said it would be a halfway measure to test the point, i take it that the choice option is a compromise proposed.
