    It's pretty much the same in every city. I've had drivers complain to me too. At the end of the day, everyone's just trying to make a living.

      Seriously, I was speechless. He just wouldn't stop complaining.

        I was carrying things and thought a taxi would be more convenient. This was at Hangzhou East Station. The moment I got in and told him my destination, the driver started sighing, shaking his head, and complaining. I was speechless. Then he became impatient, drove off so fast that if I hadn't been holding on, I would've been thrown. He wouldn't even look when I showed him the address, just told me to navigate myself. People like him shouldn't be in the service industry. How can I file a complaint against him?

          Same thing happened to me. As soon as I got in, the driver said, 'You navigate yourself.'

            Aren't Shanghai taxis just the same?

                I've heard they're not supposed to refuse fares. And if they've waited in a long queue, especially at the airport, they're definitely going to say something if the trip is very short. To be honest, ride-hailing apps and the subway are pretty convenient nowadays.

                  My main reason for taking a taxi was that handwritten receipts are faster for reimbursement. He really could have just refused the fare. There was no need to let me in the car and then complain about how I was 'costing him' or something.

                    You should try taking a taxi from Hongqiao Airport and telling the driver you're going to Hanghua. Let's see their reaction then.

                      Why would they complain about a trip to the airport? Usually, it's trips from the airport or train station that are too short that make drivers complain. That's because they've often waited in a long queue and are hoping for a more lucrative fare.
