Taxi - What cabbies had said by Amareyui
-"This is my third day at work. I don't even live in the city. I live in the country, way out of the city. I really don't know where is the place you say (despite the fact I was holding a map beside him, and the place is only a couple of blocks away. We ended up using much more time than needed, which was far from a surprise)."-"It takes a lot of detour from this side of the road to get there. Try taking a cab from the other side." Guess what, the cabbie we hired on the other side told us the same thing.
-Finally, a cabbie who was actually willing to drive us there. He said, "Those other cabbies work for private companies. They don't want to drive you if they think the distance is far enough." He continued, "I have no preference, since I work for a state owned company, and I get paid by monthly wages."
-This is actually something helpful.
"The service has dropped alot since the market opens up. Many people who just get their licenses become taxi drivers. These people don't know what they are doing on the road. And since the demand of taxi is so high in Shanghai, much more taxis, along with poorly trained drivers, are on the way."
-Last, but not least.
"Heiwei Lu? Where is that? I don't know. You tell me where that is."
