Aaaand... It's Happened.

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.
