Taxis?

On the subject of taxis, have they reduced their fares. Got a taxi from the rank outside Modelo to Acoteias yesterday morning and the fare was 8.65 Euro.
That was for 2 passengers + 5 large shopping bags (not carrier bags)
Have paid as much as 12 Euro in the past and can't remember it ever being as low as that before - it's usually at least 10+
If that's now standard then it's only 2 Euro more expensive than the bus and certainly the better option.

Don't forget that Uber are also in and around Albufeira, cheaper than the 'standard' taxis.

I think they push a button 'x' number of times per bag and maybe a button to add the 80c call out fee. Somehow it ends up on the bill. I think! Normally only use taxis when a bit worse for wear!
