The police set up many roadblocks on the way to the airport. If you are coming from the Corentyne, you can encounter 3 to 5 of these. Each one will cost you about 20 to 25 US$. Most of the drivers know the routine and how to slip the bribe so that one does not miss his/ her flight.
If the drivers follow the rule of law, there should be no reason to pay $20- $25 US.
BTW, were you in these bus that the police stop?
What rule of law? These stops are illegal.
I have not gone back since 2010. At one stop, the police said dem tyres look smooth bannas once he learned that we were heading to the airport. You gotta come to the station leh we measure the thread depth. That would have been an all day waiting process. The driver knew the routine.
People need to use their cameras and phones and start recording these illegal stops and post them on social media.
The end does not justify the means.
