Taxi Night Charges...??

Hi all,

Need help esp from the Local residents.

Recently had a friend being charged the mid night rates although he availed the cab at 11 p.m from the airport

What time do the %26#39;night time%26#39; charges for the taxis apply esp the ones that we take from the airport/ Luohu / Huangang etc..??

I am / was under the impression that these charges start from 12 p.m onwards.

If one is in a situation like above, how does one tell the cabbie to charge the usual rates..??

I%26#39;ve seen the night rates vary start time between 11 and 12. I can tell you for a fact since friends and me do it alot that taking a cab from OCT area to Shekou starts at 12.50 even at 10PM. The night rate jumps to 16.50 just to get in. It isn%26#39;t that much more expensive. A trip from Shekout to Futian should run about 80RMB.

have heard that Shz night cab fares are the most expensive on the mainland...

that apart, if u travel from OCT nr WOW, Happy valley etc, to Shekou %26amp; back at night, there is 1/2 bus service (bus 113, 204, 369 )that run till midnight while the other buses run only till 11 p.m or so.

We have used it the last few times %26amp; it was pretty convenient
