RANT! SCAM ALERT! Taxi Drivers Overcharging! Don't Get Ripped Off, Folks!

Some people just can't handle the truth.

I just always pay up...
-
Haha, gotta give a thumbs-up to the poor chumps.
-
I always pay it because I just want to get home quickly. It's only 20 yuan, about the price of a bubble tea. This situation is the government's doing, and it's been this way for decades. It's always either the driver or the passenger who ends up losing out, while the toll collectors just watch. If you don't want to pay, you can always take the subway or a bus.

There's no toll going from the city to the airport, but you definitely have to pay when leaving the airport.

Ride-hailing services hardly go to Xiaoshan Airport anymore. Only newbies would probably still take airport fares. Most drivers avoid it. If they go and don't charge the highway toll, they'll likely lose money. If they do charge it, passengers might complain, which is even more hassle. So, they just don't accept airport trips anymore.

It's better if they don't accept the ride; it saves everyone the trouble. Getting kicked out of the car after the ride has been accepted is a real pain and wastes time.
-
The subway goes directly there. Why not take it?
-
There's still a demand when you're dragging luggage and it's inconvenient. The subway is indeed fast and punctual, though.

Another one of those clickbait posts fishing for attention.

Just sharing some business trip experiences, that's all.

Xiaoshan Airport has been trending recently, with a video from CCTV. Here's the deal: it's free to enter Xiaoshan Airport, but leaving via the airport expressway costs 20 yuan, and the Hongkan Road toll is 10 yuan. If you drop off a passenger in the morning, you'll likely have no return fare and have to drive back empty. For instance, take that order I mentioned: a flat rate of 35 yuan. I drove the passenger 21km in 25 minutes, then drove back empty another 21km, 25 minutes. My electricity cost was 0.5 yuan. My time cost is 40 yuan (I could earn 40 yuan an hour doing other simple jobs). Add the 20 yuan highway toll, and my total cost for this single trip was 60.5 yuan. But I only earned 35 yuan, meaning I lost 25.5 yuan. What am I supposed to do?????? Who willingly does business at a loss???? So now, I pretty much have to stick to specific zones for rides. I avoid the airport if at all possible; I'd rather get no rides than go there!!!

When a situation arises where neither drivers nor passengers are satisfied, the relevant authorities should step in to resolve it. It's not right to unfairly burden consumers.

Newbie Didi drivers might still go to the airport without being reimbursed for the toll, but they'll only make that mistake once. Next time, they'd rather cancel the order and take the penalty points than go. If this keeps up, it'll become difficult to get a Didi to the airport. The subway is very convenient and goes directly there.
