Cab-fare dodgers come in all forms
( 2003-11-13 17:34) (China Daily)
A taxi driver in Shanghai is reminding his peers in the trade that even
fashionable young women can play tricks to avoid paying taxi fare, Shanghai
Morning Post reports.
On the afternoon of November 9, a stylishly dressed young woman got into Gu's
taxi carrying an expensive jacket she said she was taking back to a shop to
exchange for another size.
She asked Gu to stop and wait for her just outside a hotel where she claimed
to have bought the jacket.
But the woman never returned, leaving Gu with an unpaid 55-yuan (US$7) taxi
fare.
An old man near the entrance to the hotel said that as the hotel had many
exits, taxi drivers were often fooled by passengers in this
way.
