Anyone know a dependable private taxi service?

Green taxi #160
Speaks some English, is learning and loves to practice. He drove some guests of ours all around the Panoramica a year or so ago. He will pick you up and take you to the airport at all hours of the day or night. He does not do airport pickups, but I think that has more to do with the lock on taxi service that the Silao/Le?n drivers have on that service at the airport. It's easy, though, just buy a ticket across from the rental car places inside the airport when you come out of aduana.

Flecha Amarilla runs a bus to Dolores Hidalgo every 20 minutes. You don't have to go to the bus station to get it -- it stops on Alhondiga. Same bus stops at Santa Rosa, so you can buy a ticket only to there. City buses go infrequently to Santa Rosa, but I don't know how often.

Primera Plus goes to San Miguel de Allende, and it is a short trip: about 1:15, very reasonably priced. From there, other buses go to Antonilco and all other points.

I wonder why you want taxis everywhere? Admittedly, they are great if you are in a hurry or have a lot of stuff to carry. Is someone disabled and could not reasonably travel by bus? If not, try it! Take the local buses! Take the long distance buses! It is only in the USA where if you don't have a private car you are marooned. In M?xico, you can go anywhere by public transportation or ad hoc arranged transport on the fly. Loosen up and try it! You'll meet the locals and be richer for the experience.
