Hi,
I understand that the service taxis have standard routes. Is there a way to find out these routes other than trial/error. I live in Zouk Mosbeh and although I carpool frequently to Beirut, it would be nice to be a bit more independent. Private taxis get expensive! My Arabic is highly limited for now, so communication with drivers is a challenge.
Thx-
Marlene

Well if you want to save money by using taxis, try not going on a far destination in one trio, so basically from zouk mosbeh, ask for a service to Dbayeh or Antelias, that should be 2000LL and then take another one to your destination, or catch a bus.

The bus might be a good option. I'm afraid I haven't used the bus system here but know of people who use it regularly and say that it is fine. I'm sorry that I can't help with any details about public buses here but maybe someone else on the forum knows more . . ?
