2. If you want to go from Hangzhou airport or railway station to your hotel, it is highly recommended to take the airport shuttle bus or city bus rather than a taxi. Hangzhou taxis are well known as hard to hail, while the city bus system is well developed and easy to use.
3. Passengers should use the "official" taxis (with a Taxi sign on the car) and pay the fare according to the meter.
4. Passengers can refuse to pay the fare if the driver dropped a passenger on the way or refused to let passengers on.
