This original solution called “taxi-co” resembles an ordinary cab service, with the difference that you will not be alone in the car, but several in a kind of minibus.

Note that the returns are assured by the same cabs, with possible descents and ascents on the way. The only drawback is that the cab only leaves once it is full. The wait can therefore sometimes be long…
