Hangzhou Taxis: JUST. DON'T. DO. IT!!!
-
Did you get the license plate number? Try to recall the time and location. If you call 12345, they'll transfer you to the transport authorities for the scenic area.
-
Hangzhou taxis have driver ID cards displayed. There are voice prompts during payment, and they even announce the complaint hotline. Taxis provide machine-printed receipts; even if they turn off the meter mid-trip, a receipt can still be issued. Even if you were too afraid to ask for one, you could have photographed the license plate when you got out. At the very least, if you felt scammed, you could have called the police and asked them to check surveillance footage! You did none of that and now you're spinning this story? Do you think online observers these days are that gullible? Even if you genuinely didn't manage to do any of those things at the time, you could have posted on Xiaohongshu (XHS) as soon as you got back to your hotel. So why post from a different IP address?

He turned that off at the time, and I didn't notice. It was also very late when I got back to the hotel. I don't consider a hundred yuan a huge amount of money, I just don't want others to make the same mistake.
-
Normally, even tourists wouldn't just pay that 100 yuan without questioning it.
-
Because I was scared, and frankly, a bit naive.

Report it to the police and file a complaint against him. Even though many taxi drivers aren't from Hangzhou, since he's operating here, we can't let one person tarnish the city's image. I always take taxis in Hangzhou, rarely use ride-hailing apps, and I've never experienced anything like what you described. So, since this happened to you, don't let him get away with it. You can use your payment proof to file a complaint on the 'Zheli Ban' platform.
-
I don't know what Hangzhou taxis did to you for you to smear them like this.
-
If anything I've said is untrue, I'm willing to face legal consequences. This is the truth.
-
Why post today and not a few days ago? Why didn't you report it to the police at the time, but are posting on Xiaohongshu now?
-
Because I was on a business trip and was very busy. What I said is absolutely true.
