TAXIS COSTALEGRE
(Sitios in the Costalegre)
Taxis are the most versatile transportation in the Costalegre. Whether it's a short trip across town or a tour of the area, cab drivers will get you there "fast". Mañana does not apply to Mexican taxi drivers. At the taxi stands, prices are fixed and posted for outlining areas. Because taxicabs are not metered, drivers rarely receive tips, but be generous if good service is given.

MOTO TAXIS
(Since 2017)
There are now Moto-Taxis in Melaque, Barra de Navidad and Cihuatlán. They are a simple and economical transportation option for 2 or 3 people just traveling across town. There are separate ones in each town, so you still have to take a taxi between the towns. Barra moto's only go as far as Jaluco. Melaque motos travel between San Patricio, Villa Obregón, Pinal Villa and Jaluco. Just flag one down or arrange for a pickup at your hotel or residence call one of the following numbers.
Barra: (315).109.9145. Melaque: (315).100.8678, (315).100.3888, (315).114.0564, (315).100.8165, #3(315).115.6453, #6 (315).112.2019 Cihuatlán: (315).106.1393, (315).113.0839. Cell numbers often change. New #'s for 2018: (315).109.1408, (315).108.0549, (315).100.9308.
Hire a taxi driver for a tourist guide of the area. Barter for the fare as they are quite expensive. You will negotiate the best price if you barter for tomorrow's trip. Be reasonable when bartering as fuel is quite expensive. Although very honest and reliable it is wise to agree on a price before you get into a taxi. For a return trip pay only half the fare in advance, and the balance when they return to pick you up. Most cabs are small and can only fit a maximum of 4 passengers (tightly).
