No. I have not read the above thread and will read them for information.

It is this thread that the OP insisted s/he only wanted to take public transportation and there are pages of discussion on the personal opinions on Taxi that I found it irrevalent to the topic and a very much "to each their own type of situation."

I do find the title misleading as when I found I thought someone actually was stranded at Muitangyu. Turns out it was the OP's worry about taking taxi for the most part.
