Why do many people prefer to wait for ride-hailing cars instead of taking taxis from the roadside?
A man shared that a few days ago, his wife was discharged from the hospital after giving birth, so he went downstairs with their luggage to wait.
There is a designated taxi pickup area in front of the hospital, where a row of taxi drivers were waiting for passengers. He went directly to ask them.
To his surprise, several drivers questioned him as if conducting a household registration check, first asking why he came to the hospital.
Upon learning that his wife was discharged after giving birth, they waved him off, saying they wouldn't take him because it was inauspicious.
Then another driver approached, pretending to pity him, and said, 'How about this, you give me 100 yuan; everyone who gives birth here has to pay 100 yuan.'
The other drivers waiting nearby joined in, saying, 'Yes, it's like that; it's the rule. No one will take you for less than 100 yuan.'
In the end, he could only pull out his phone by the roadside to call for a ride-hailing car, specifically selecting not to call a taxi.
In less than five minutes, a brand-new Hongqi ride-hailing car arrived.
The driver, wearing white gloves, got out of the car to help him with his luggage and kindly opened the car door for him.
