It's not too difficult to take a taxi during peak hours after the taxi price adjustment in Beijing.

Beijing: It's not too difficult to take a taxi at the peak after the taxi price adjustment.

Reporter No.6 experienced the taxi peak period before and after the price adjustment. At the same time, the number of empty cars has increased, the long-distance freight has not increased much, and the short-distance taxi fare has increased greatly.

On June 10, the taxi price in Beijing was officially adjusted. On May 3 1 Sunday and June 17, during the late peak hours of two working days before and after the price adjustment, Beijing News reporters went to the key areas where taxis were difficult, such as Capital Airport, Beijing West Railway Station, Xidan, Financial Street, Zhongguancun and Guo Mao.

The reporter found that after the price adjustment, the peak hours of empty cars increased, the cost of short-distance taxis was higher, and the call was not as reliable as propaganda. Most taxi drivers also said that although the freight rate has increased, the number of passengers has decreased significantly and the income has not increased much.

There are many cars in the rush hour.

Airports, stations and business districts have always been the main places where taxis are difficult in Beijing.

Yesterday, the reporter came to these places again and found that compared with the peak hours before the price adjustment, there were more empty cars and fewer passengers in these areas, and it was obviously much more convenient to take a taxi.

In the evening rush hour of May 3rd1,near Wuding Back Street, within 15 minutes, 29 taxis passed by. Except for taxis carrying passengers, there are no empty cars to park, and all of them are at a standstill. After the price adjustment yesterday, in the same place, only two of the 24 taxis stopped within 15 minutes, and taxis could be recruited within 5 minutes.

Xidan, Guo Mao and other business districts, near office buildings, it is no longer difficult to recruit empty cars. Compared with before the price adjustment, it is much easier to take a taxi. At Beijing West Railway Station, passengers have to wait for half an hour to take a taxi before the price adjustment. After the price adjustment, a large number of taxis lined up to wait for passengers.

Most taxi drivers also report that after the price adjustment, the number of taxi passengers has also decreased, and the income has hardly increased.

The taxi driver stood up in the evening rush hour.

Compared with Yang Zhao, the unified taxi calling platform 96 106 in Beijing is not very reliable. .

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter called the taxi hotline one hour in advance. 42 minutes later, he received two text messages, one indicating that the car was booked successfully and the other indicating that there was no car to call.

Near the financial street, the reporter dialed 96 106 to indicate that he wanted a car immediately, and the SMS reservation was successful. As of press time, the taxi driver did not contact the reporter in the text message.

It is understood that after a passenger dialed 96 106, no one contacted him within 2 hours. After canceling the reservation, the passenger received several calls from his brother. In this regard, the transportation department said that the taxi unified special service call platform is in the trial operation stage, and the overall operation is stable, but it is still in the running-in stage. Taxi companies, taxi drivers and passengers are still in the adaptation period, and there are some technical loopholes and other problems.

Long-distance freight didn't go up much.

Is it more expensive for passengers to take taxis before and after the price adjustment?

The reporter found that it is more cost-effective to take a long-distance taxi and the short-distance increase is relatively large. In case of traffic jam, the money on the meter is also considerable.

On June 17, the reporter traveled about 24 kilometers from the Capital Airport to lishuiqiao, and waited for 10 & 15 minutes, but the freight only increased by 9 yuan.

From Financial Street to Happiness Avenue, the journey is about 9 kilometers, waiting for nearly half an hour, and the cost is 49 yuan, which is higher than before the price adjustment on May 3 1 9 yuan.

How much did the driver confiscate from the new meter?

After replacing the new meter, the taxi mileage doubled and the price doubled. Yesterday, the reporter met such a strange thing when he took a taxi from the airport to lishuiqiao.

Yesterday, the reporter took a newly adjusted taxi. According to the driver, Master Zhang, he got a new meter on 16.

After the price adjustment, it will surpass 200 yuan every day. Just dragging a passenger to the airport, he didn't get enough money. Master Zhang predicted that the taxi fare from the airport to lishuiqiao was estimated to be 100 yuan. On the way, Master Zhang pointed to the meter and said, Look, the watch has been jumping. It must be more than 100.

After the taxi arrived in lishuiqiao, the meter showed 49.2km and the total cost was 163 yuan. The reporter took a taxi from the airport to lishuiqiao twice before, and both took the same route and drove 24 kilometers, which cost less than 80 yuan.

Master Zhang called his crescent taxi company, and the captain of the team, Wang, said by computer that it was within 30 kilometers from T3 terminal to lishuiqiao.

But Master Zhang didn't detour, and the problem pointed to Xinmi. In this regard, Captain Wang said that he would check Master Zhang's GPS trajectory as soon as possible to find out the reason.

After discovering the possible problems with the new watch, Master Zhang paid the taxi fare paid by the reporter, 80 yuan.

There were a large number of taxis waiting in line yesterday, and it was almost impossible to get a taxi without waiting in line.
