本人走的地方不是太多,但在不同的地方也打過一些的,國內就不說了。
總的來說,在不發達國家,一般車上沒表(或有表不用) ,所以在上車前一定要搞好
價(局體多少可以問一下當地人,如果是國際機場一般問事處都有一個大概價),上
車後,如是拉美國家,一般司機都很熱情健談,是練當地語言的好機會。我在拉美
旅行時由於在行程中間丟失旅行手冊,在巴西,巴拿馬,秘魯能找到價廉物美的旅館全
憑這些司機幫忙了。其中在巴拿馬,利馬每次都走了好幾家而且都是晚上11點左右。(司機並
沒有額外收錢)。另外,在利馬還打了兩次黑車(價格僅是有執照的1/2-2/3)
發達國家(包括意大利西班牙),製度都很規範,有問題可以投訴,都是打表。有一
次在拿波裏,晚上11點以後,公交全停了。 隻好打的,心想沒準會被宰(因為當時
拿波裏負麵的東西聽的太多),當時喝的有點高,把旅館的地址給了司機,一路上迷
迷糊糊,拿波裏的狹窄昏暗街道彎彎曲曲上下起伏,恍惚置身於意大利的老電影裏,
大約半小時後,回到了旅館,價格一算18歐,並沒有被宰,要知道從海邊山上(有攬
車的那個)到火車站附近還是有一段距離的。
雖然發達國家出租車製度規範,但收費的細則卻不簡單。同樣一段距離,白天與晚
上,周末與平時,帶不帶行李,乘客多少。最後價錢大不相同。所以如果發現,今
天的價錢
比昨日多了,別就此以為被宰。心中不平時,要將車的牌照,時間,路程的起終點等記
下。付錢時檢查好發票,然後投訴。 最好不要拒付,萬一碰個脾氣不好的司機,帶
著你的行李楊長而去,反而造出一個更大的杯具。
