    It's the same inside or outside the SEZ.

      That makes me wonder, why can't they get it done?

        I'm saying this deliberately because I've seen some people resort to victim-blaming. I'm worried that if another incident occurs, the narrative will shift to 'Well, it's your fault for taking a motorcycle taxi. A prudent person avoids unnecessary risks.' That's why I sincerely hope everyone stays away from them.

          I've never used one. With something unregulated like this, aren't you worried the driver might just take you somewhere else? I'd much rather walk or use a shared bike.

            I took one once in Nanchang, but the driver ran a red light. I haven't taken one since then.

              For short distances, I walk or use a shared bike. For medium distances, I take a taxi. For longer trips, the subway is great because it avoids traffic. Aren't all of these options safer than a motorcycle taxi?

                Never used one. And I've been in Shenzhen for over a decade.

                  I've never taken one. I usually rely on the subway, bus, taxi, or my own two feet (the 'number 11 bus' as we say).

                    It's just safer that way. You have no idea who these motorcycle taxi drivers are, and there's zero regulation.

                      I don't use them. They feel unsafe and frankly, quite scary. I'd rather spend extra time and money on a licensed taxi, or even just walk a bit more.
