7:30 am Route Taxi to Boys' Town: I hitch hike to work everyday

I'm on the way down to the government yard. I stand in a common area outside a parking lot made into a market place, a car pulls up, I get in and I say where I'm going. This is the informal taxi system of Kingston.  I have come to enjoy the 3 minute cruise up White Road that connects Cross Roads to Trench Town. I never know if I'm going to hear the latest dance hall mix, the news, or crooning of Anita Baker. Once I got over the fact that I get into a random car with 2-4 other individuals and pay a man with no official title a dollar, I appreciate the ride to work.
