Taxis
Taxis in Cuenca use taximeters. The meter should start at $ 0.55. For every kilometer during the day, $ 0.29 will be added. In the evenings and at night, $ 0.39 will be added for every kilometer. The minimal prices are $ 1,39 during the day and $ 1.67 in the evenings and at night.
Like in the rest of Ecuador, you can wave your hand to stop a taxi, but it's also possible to order a taxi with an app on your mobile phone. To request a taxi, you can use two apps on your mobile phone: AzuTaxi and CuencaTaxi. The best app to use is AzuTaxi. The app CuencaTaxi is less user-friendly. Uber and inDriver aren't available in Cuenca.
Traffic fines
There are several speed cameras in and around Cuenca. It is usually worth contesting speed camera fines. You can contact the legal firm Legal and Travel for this.
