Taxi Service in Shanghai

Taxis are plentiful in Shanghai. It is quite easy to flag down a taxi. The flag down rate is RMB 11 (about SGD 2.20). There are no surcharges.

The taxi driver will always print a receipt for each trip. This is useful, in case you left something in the taxi or wish to complain about poor or rude service.

The taxi drivers are quite polite. They do not complain if the trip is short.

The shortcomings are:

* you have to compete with many other commuters trying to flag down a taxi
* some taxi drivers are not familiar with the destination (as Shanghai is so big and changing so fast)

I am confident that they can find a solution to these shortcomings.
