Elbert is right!
WARNING - When they tell you the dollar amount and you ask "US of Belize?" guess what their answer is going to be? Yep - they will say US since you obviously don't know. It took me several times before I caught on.
So, in Belize dollars and with gas at almost $10 BZ I too wonder how they make ends meet. Oh - Duh - silly me - side lines!
I have wondered that many times as well.
With Coastal Express, what exactly IS the charge from lets say....CocoBeach to Ruby's pier in town? In BZ $ of course.
And more importantly, what about short trips, just part of the way...say CocoBeach to the Palapa Bar? I have been charged MANY different fares. Is it whatever they feel like at the time?
