This article will combine the hot discussions on the entire Internet in the past 10 days, analyze the pricing rules of taxis in detail, and present key information through structured data to help everyone better understand the fee structure.
1. Basic rules for taxi pricing
Taxi fare usually consists of starting price, mileage fee, waiting fee and surcharge. The following is a comparison of taxi pricing standards in major cities across the country:
| city | Starting price (including 3 kilometers) | Mileage fee (yuan/km) | Waiting fee (yuan/minute) | night surcharge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | 13 yuan | 2.3 yuan | 0.5 yuan | 20% |
| Shanghai | 14 yuan | 2.5 yuan | 0.6 yuan | 30% |
| Guangzhou | 12 yuan | 2.6 yuan | 0.4 yuan | 15% |
| Shenzhen | 10 yuan | 2.7 yuan | 0.5 yuan | 25% |
2. Answers to popular questions
1.Why are the charges different for the same distance?
Taxi fares are affected by factors such as road conditions, waiting time, and night surcharges. For example, traffic jams during peak hours will lead to increased waiting fees, and night driving may add 20%-30% to the fee.
2.How to avoid being detoured and overcharged?
It is recommended to use navigation software to check the route in advance and communicate with the driver to confirm. If you find an obvious detour, you can keep your ride voucher and complain to the regulatory authorities.
3.How is the fare calculated when sharing a ride?
The cost of a rideshare is usually split proportionally by the platform, but some cities allow drivers to negotiate with passengers. Here's how common rideshare fares are calculated:
| Number of carpoolers | cost sharing ratio | Example (total cost 50 yuan) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | 60%:40% | 30 yuan: 20 yuan |
| 3 people | 50%:30%:20% | 25 yuan: 15 yuan: 10 yuan |

Some cities allow service surcharges (5-10 yuan) to be charged during the Spring Festival, but they need to be clearly announced. Passengers may refuse to pay if they encounter unannounced surcharges.
4. Taxi fare calculation example
Suppose you take a taxi in Beijing during the day, travel 10 kilometers (including 3 kilometers for free), and wait in traffic for 10 minutes:

|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Fixed 13 yuan | 13 yuan |
| Mileage fee | (10-3)*2.3 | 16.1 yuan |
| waiting fee | 10*0.5 | 5 yuan |
| total | 13+16.1+5 | 34.1 yuan |
