- Taxi Drivers are ranked in "stars" one star is the worst, and five stars are extremely rare
- Hold onto your seat. Your going to need to!
- Crashes are negotiated on the spot. If an agreement for paying can't be agreed on, the police are called to help.
My experience goes as follows: Start at the Super Brand Mall. Here comes a taxi. I wave it down. The driver doesn't really know the way, and so we're telling him where to go. The average fare to our house is 15 yuan, and so when we get there, and the meter shows 27 yuan, we're not happy. We tell him that we should only pay him 15 yuan. He gets really angry, and starts to speed back to the Jin Mao as fast as possible. We tell him to stop, and he doesn't stop. Finally, my mom pulls open the door, and out we get (of course
he
stopped when my mom opened up the door!). We pay him the fair, and out we go.Hope you don't have an experience like that!
