Express Kidnappings Guayaquil

13 years ago
Appears that express kidnappings are on the increase especially in the case of taking marked yellow cabs.

The governor of Guayas believes that much of the reason is due to the number of drivers who rent the taxis from the registered owner.

It is recommended to use private unmarked taxis and if you use a yellow cab to make sure the picture on the back of the seat matches the driver - although these have been know to be falsified.
