Taxi's in BG

As I sit behind a radio (temporarily manning a taxi office - helping out a friend) my thoughts turn to the taxi's in Pamporovo. I seem to remember at the end of last season there being some sort of regulation of fares to stop the drivers charging astronomical amounts for the tourists? can anyone remember if that is the case or remember any details?

Hi Pippa - here is a section of the post I made in May this year.

Finally - after much anger on taxi fares last year, prices have now been set at 3 levs per km. These prices have been set by the municipal councils of Chepalare and Smoylan and they also apply throughout the resort of Pamporovo.

3 lev per km. That's fab - I knew it was something like that. Cheers Pete!

I'm sure she did but i've not been in contact with her recently. I think she's been back in the UK with one of her kids having an op.Is she banned from this site??

I think she may be - but not by me I hasten to add.

No mate, and 3lv a km is extortionate, but at least you know what you are paying... Here in Bansko its the old system, `you takes your chance' Wink
Better to negotiate the fare before getting into the taxi, even better if your reception at the hotel or complex does it, they will know someone...
3lv per km Mad that's around £2.00 per mile... Fares in the capital on meter are 80st per km...
And on our transfers, 50st per km(worse case)... we would love 3lv per km... especially as fuel now ...
