The existence of these problems not only harms the interests of consumers, but also affects the healthy development of the ride-hailing industry.
In response to these problems, some experts suggested that online ride-hailing platforms should strengthen self-discipline and establish a more complete billing system and supervision mechanism. At the same time, government departments should also strengthen the supervision of the online ride-hailing industry, formulate stricter norms and standards, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
Here, we also remind consumers to be vigilant when using ride-hailing services and pay attention to checking itinerary and cost information If an abnormal situation is found, you should contact the customer service of the platform in time for verification and processing.
