Has the weather been sultry lately, and is public transport turning on air-conditioning? Reporter's investigation found that there is also unsatisfying coolness

Taxi does not open air-conditioned passengers can refuse to pay the fare

On these days, many places in the country entered the summer early. The temperature in Shanghai also exceeds 30°C for several consecutive days. With the sultry weather, did the citizens enjoy the “coolness” in the carriage when they took buses or taxis? Yesterday afternoon, the reporter made some on-site visits.

Jasmine came out of the breeze

Zhaojiabang Road Tianping Road bus station, a reporter on a bus, suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing. The driver told the reporter, “The team had cleaned and checked the air-conditioning equipment one month ago to avoid being caught off guard.” The reporter also took a bus on Longheng Road, Longhua West Road, and walked into the carriage with cool breeze. It also carries a jasmine fragrance and looks up and a bottle of car perfume is placed on the dashboard of the cab. According to the driver’s introduction, there are more elderly passengers in the car and the air conditioner cannot be opened too much. Putting on a bottle of perfume “makes them feel better”.

Hot air passengers sweat DC

The six or seven buses in the center of the city where the reporter was traveling all had air-conditioning turned on at the right time according to the changes in the climate. However, in the following two bus lines passing through the suburbs, the driver did not turn on the air-conditioner: one from Qingpu to People’s Square. In the bus, because the air conditioner was not turned on, some of the passengers in the sweltering cabin took out a paper towel to wipe sweat, and some used a newspaper as a fan; while on a public bus to Minhang, the driver asked the reporter to turn on the air conditioner. It is recommended that you keep your ears from hearing and continue to drive only with "concentrate."

After the reporter exchanged more taxis yesterday afternoon, he also found that vehicles from small and medium-sized taxi companies did not perform satisfactorily on timely and flexible air conditioners. Near Xujiahui, the reporter got on a “Blue Union” taxi. When the front and rear windows of the car both shake right down. When the reporter asked to turn on the air conditioner, the driver answered blankly. “It's not a requirement. Will the hot days begin again on June 15th?". At the Jing'an Temple, a red taxi driver with a BX license plate and the reporter “pulled up the paste”: “The air conditioning was still good at noon and it was just broken.”

Taxi fee includes air conditioning

According to the relevant provisions of the city's public bus and tram passenger transport management, from June 1 to October 31 each year, and during this period, when the temperature inside the outside compartment is higher than 28°C, the operator must open the vehicle air-conditioning facilities. In addition, according to the relevant taxi management regulations, the driver must turn on the air conditioner according to the wishes of the passenger regardless of the circumstances throughout the year, because the current taxi fare includes the air conditioning cost. As the weather becomes hotter, if passengers find that buses and taxis fail to implement the policies as prescribed, they can report to the passenger management department or the 12319 Urban Construction Hotline complaint in addition to the right to refuse to pay the fare.
