An online ride-hailing driver surnamed Chen from Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, mainland China recently picked up a female passenger who accidentally left her mobile phone in the car. She originally promised to pay RMB 20 (approximately NT$87) and asked him to help her. He returned the phone, but when he arrived at the scene, the female passenger immediately regretted it and refused to pay 20 yuan. So he drove away angrily and sent the phone to the Taiping Police Station in Humen Town, 18 kilometers away. This incident sparked heated discussion .
“Upstream News” reported that the driver surnamed Chen said in an interview that at 3:05 a.m. on January 5, he picked up a female passenger in Houjie Town, Dongguan, and went to a technology company in Chang’an Town; the female passenger got off the bus for about 5 minutes. , 6 minutes later, he received a call. The female passenger said that she had left her mobile phone in the car; he found the mobile phone in the car, and discussed with the other party how to return it.
According to the video released by the person involved, he asked the female passenger, “Should we send it back or send it to the police station? There will definitely be an extra fee to send it back.” The female passenger asked, “How much extra?” He responded, “At least 20.” The female passenger replied “Okay.” As for why he didn’t remind the female passenger that her phone was lost when she got off the bus, the driver said, “Her phone fell between the door and the seat. It was dark at night and couldn’t be seen at all. I drove about 3 kilometers away. If it is too much, you will definitely be charged for lost work time if you send it back, which she was willing to pay at the time.”
Afterwards, Chen drove the car back to the place where the female passenger got off, took out the QR code and asked the other party to pay. Unexpectedly, the female passenger refused directly and questioned whether his charging behavior was illegal. Upon hearing this, the driver immediately drove away and sent the phone to the Taiping Police Station, 18 kilometers away from the incident site. He said, “I’m an online ride-hailing driver who goes out in the middle of the night to earn some hard-earned money. I don’t ask for a price, just 20 yuan. I’ll send the phone back, you can pay me and I’ll leave. She’s still talking about all this.” , then I left directly. Originally, I was going to send the phone to Chang’an Police Station, but she called the police on the way, so I sent it to the nearest Taiping Police Station.”
When asked by reporters to help contact female passengers, Chen Nan said that according to platform regulations, passenger information cannot be provided to the media. A police officer on duty at the Taiping Police Station responded, “I was not at work yesterday. If you have any questions, please contact the branch.” He also could not provide the contact information of the female passenger. Moreover, the incident involved a moral issue and the police would not handle it specially.
