The fee is 360 yuan within 60 kilometers of the leakage platform
In the past few days, Shanghai Pudong Airport has banned online car-hailing. Pudong Airport prohibits passengers from gambling online, which has attracted great attention from most netizens.
Online car rentals are prohibited at Pudong Airport, but there are"Fish that slipped through the net"
On January 29, the Shanghai Municipal Road Transport Administration issued the "Notice on Prohibiting the Operation of Online Ride-hailing at Pudong Airport", which clarified"It is strictly forbidden for online car-hailing to solicit passengers in the Pudong Airport area"。
Seeing this, many people don't understand: now that electric vehicles are so convenient, why should Shanghai, as an international metropolis, ban electric vehicles? Is there anything wrong with banning electric cars?
According to the explanation of the person in charge of the Passenger Transport Department of the Shanghai Municipal Road Transport Bureau:
The "Notice" is a reiteration of the "Several Regulations on the Administration of Online Taxi Reservation Services in Shanghai", which was implemented in 2016, and the current supply of cruise taxis at Pudong Airport is very sufficient, and passengers queuing for the bus basically does not exceed 20 minutes. "It should also be noted that the Notice aims to prohibit online car-hailing from publishing information for help, but does not prohibit online car-hailing from transporting passengers to airports and railway stations. "
This explanation is confusing, I think many netizens don't understand, and more people don't understand that since Pudong Airport banned online car-hailing to pick up passengers, it made people never expect that there is also an online car-hailing platform, but"Lost contact"Finish.
Some netizens recently discovered that after Pudong Airport banned ride-hailing, a car called"Air travel"The platform can still operate normally, and netizens can still place orders normally.
However, the ride-hailing platform doesn't admit that it's ride-hailing, they say it is"Pick up the butler on the plane", but since it is air travel"Pick up the butler on the plane"Users can still place orders through apps or other programs, which is completely different from online car-hailing. There is no difference at all.
The end result is that this airport travel service is much more expensive than a vehicle equipped with an internet connection.
According to a netizen,"Airport tours"The charge is higher, about 50 yuan more expensive than the average taxi. Among them, a 45-kilometer journey costs 209 yuan, excluding the starting price, which charges 4 per kilometer3 yuan, much higher than the 2 of a taxi in Shanghai$7.
Recently, the airline has launched the Spring Festival**, and the maximum 60 kilometers are 360 yuan!
Why is the airport service so charged? What exactly are the top services offered? Do passengers need these top-of-the-line services?
In fact, for most passengers, their needs are very simple, that is, from a certain place to the airport, or from the airport to a certain place, whether it is a top-level service or an ordinary queue, the effect is the same.
What's more, many online car-hailing platforms now have strict assessments, and the drivers are not bad in terms of travel environment and service attitude, which can fully meet the travel needs of ordinary passengers, so many people do not need overly complex personalized services.
Of course, this kind of airport service provides some high-end services, and it is understandable to charge high fees, but the Shanghai traffic management department has banned ride-hailing at Pudong Airport and allowed airport travel services to continue to operate, which is somewhat different.
And most importantly, this kind"Airport travel"There are a lot of problems.
According to public information,"Airport travel"The service platform was established in December 2022, and it has only been more than a year since it belongs to Shanghai Airport Travel Agency*** Since October, it has been recognized as a restricted high-consumption enterprise by the Shanghai Changning District People's Court. In addition, its legal representative, Chen, has 16 companies under his name, all of which are in existence, some of which specialize in car rental services.
This is one"Question"company, but it has managed to gain access to the Pudong Airport taxi network"Exclusivity"Qualification.
Pudong Airport has announced the resumption of travel**.
In the past few days, the news of the ban on liquid cars at Pudong Airport has attracted widespread attention on the Internet, including the official ** and some large companies engaged in related business.
In fact, across the country, many airports are encouraging online carriers to offer airport pick-up services, which not only provides more options for passengers, but is also a sign of commercialization.
Perhaps the Shanghai traffic management department also realized the pressure of the network ** and had to make changes.
On the evening of February 3, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission issued an announcement that according to the suggestions of the general public and passengers, the Municipal Transportation Commission decided to resume the online car-hailing operation service in the Pudong Airport area from February 4, and citizens and passengers can book a car through various online car-hailing platforms in the Pudong Airport area.
Seeing this notice, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had more options to go to Shanghai Pudong Airport.
In short, compared with ordinary taxis, the advantages of online taxis are still relatively obvious.
On the one hand, passengers can choose to take a taxi at any time according to their travel time without having to wait for it, which can also improve the efficiency of the airport.
On the other hand, online ride-hailing is strictly supervised by the platform, and it does not dare to refuse to take or have other violations.
In one case, the itinerary is very transparent, and the airport's pricing platform for a certain location has been calculated, and the driver cannot change it, which can prevent the driver from charging arbitrarily.
Another point is that online car-hailing has a number of evaluations for drivers, if customers complain, drivers may be penalized, and then orders will be reduced, in order to avoid this, many online car-hailing services have a better attitude and a better atmosphere on the journey, which is much better than taxis.
In contrast, taxis are not supervised by a platform, so many taxi drivers are more capricious, refusing to ride, wrong meters, indiscriminate charges, deviating from the route and other situations are not uncommon, and it is precisely for this reason that many people would rather choose online car-hailing than taxis.
We also hope that all districts will respect passengers, respect the market, and not be one-size-fits-all when solving some problems, but listen to the voices of citizens and take some measures that are beneficial to citizens.
