How was he to know he was ripped? He assumed it was the normal price. He only found out later when asking me if it was the right price.
_ann_ should pull Y300 from an ATM upon arrival, buy a bottle of water (so, that she has Y250 ready to hand over), get in the taxi queue, and head out.

I would say 200, but the legit cost might be little more than this.

I want to reiterate the convenience point. This doesn't matter so much for you or me because we do the public transit routine, whenever possible. The taxi que is idiot proof.
