本人走的地方不是太多,但在不同的地方也打过一些的,国内就不说了。
总的来说,在不发达国家,一般车上没表(或有表不用) ,所以在上车前一定要搞好
价(局体多少可以问一下当地人,如果是国际机场一般问事处都有一个大概价),上
车后,如是拉美国家,一般司机都很热情健谈,是练当地语言的好机会。我在拉美
旅行时由于在行程中间丢失旅行手册,在巴西,巴拿马,秘鲁能找到价廉物美的旅馆全
凭这些司机帮忙了。其中在巴拿马,利马每次都走了好几家而且都是晚上11点左右。(司机并
没有额外收钱)。另外,在利马还打了两次黑车(价格仅是有执照的1/2-2/3)
发达国家(包括意大利西班牙),制度都很规范,有问题可以投诉,都是打表。有一
次在拿波里,晚上11点以后,公交全停了。 只好打的,心想没准会被宰(因为当时
拿波里负面的东西听的太多),当时喝的有点高,把旅馆的地址给了司机,一路上迷
迷糊糊,拿波里的狭窄昏暗街道弯弯曲曲上下起伏,恍惚置身于意大利的老电影里,
大约半小时后,回到了旅馆,价格一算18欧,并没有被宰,要知道从海边山上(有揽
车的那个)到火车站附近还是有一段距离的。
虽然发达国家出租车制度规范,但收费的细则却不简单。同样一段距离,白天与晚
上,周末与平时,带不带行李,乘客多少。最后价钱大不相同。所以如果发现,今
天的价钱
比昨日多了,别就此以为被宰。心中不平时,要将车的牌照,时间,路程的起终点等记
下。付钱时检查好发票,然后投诉。 最好不要拒付,万一碰个脾气不好的司机,带
着你的行李杨长而去,反而造出一个更大的杯具。
