The taxi in the online leaked video

　 　 　 　CCTV News(Reporter, Li Wenwen) A taxi from the airport to the city originally did not exceed 131 yuan, but when six Guangzhou students came to Harbin for tourism, they were charged 550 yuan each for two taxis. After the incident was exposed, on December 15, the tourism department of Harbin launched the first compensation mechanism of the Tourism Integrity Fund, which paid students who suffered slaughter in advance.

　　On December 14, six university students from Guangzhou took a flight to Harbin for a tour. The first stop was planned to be Central Street, a famous scenic spot in Harbin. The six people took two taxis from Harbin Taiping International Airport and were charged 550 yuan each after arriving at their destination. The ticket provided by the driver showed that the amount was 19 yuan. According to the taxi software, the distance was less than 40 kilometers, and the estimate did not exceed 131 yuan. The cost of 550 yuan is equivalent to arriving in Changchun City, Jilin Province.

　　The student who was slaughtered later called to report the incident and exposed the incident online. In response to the students’ questions, a taxi driver said, "It can’t be wrong, don’t worry." "Regular taxis can’t pit you, they can’t hurt you."

　　At 15:00 on December 15, the tourism department of Harbin City called some students to express their sincere apologies for their experience in taking a taxi in Harbin, and immediately launched the advance compensation mechanism of the Harbin Tourism Integrity Fund to make advance compensation. The tourism department of Harbin City reminded that the majority of tourists in the process of tourism in Harbin should immediately call the complaint number 0451-12345 if they encounter acts such as bullying and slaughtering customers whose legitimate rights and interests are infringed. The relevant departments will deal with it as soon as possible and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of tourists.

　　In addition, the Harbin Municipal Transportation Bureau, after conducting an investigation and verification with the Daoli District Transportation Bureau, where Central Street is located, made the following decisions on the involved enterprises and drivers: revoke the right to operate the car involved and the license of the taxi driver involved.

　　After being punished by the transportation department, the Harbin Daoli Public Security Bureau, in accordance with Article 49 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, gave 15 days of administrative detention to suspected fraud suspects Zhang and Fan and was fined 1,000 yuan.

　　In response to the problems that have always existed in the taxi industry in Harbin, the Harbin Municipal Party Committee and Supervision Committee held a special project meeting on December 10 to crack down on "black taxis" and strictly investigate "umbrella companies". The meeting pointed out that the current Harbin is ushering in the peak period of ice and snow tourism, and tourists from all over the world are coming. The transportation department should carry out special projects to rectify the illegal operation of "black taxis"; the Municipal Disabled Persons’ Federation should review the handling of licenses for illegal operators with disability certificates; the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision should seriously investigate and punish the illegal operation of taxis as "umbrella companies" and government officials.
