Why are there pink taxis in Huzhou?

Pink car body, delicate roses, beautiful girls with shoulder-length hair... Yesterday, Huzhou's "Rose Red" special service and civilized fleet made its debut and immediately became the most eye-catching scenery on the streets of Huzhou. . As soon as the "fashionable" taxi hits the streets, it not only attracts attention, but also attracts everyone's discussion: You can tell at a glance that it is a woman driving the car, aren't you afraid of attracting bad guys?

The "rose red" taxis on site are indeed very popular

"Pink taxis! This is the first time I have seen them in my life."

< p>"The rose pattern on the hood of this car is so beautiful, so cool."

"Mom, I will drive a pink car like my aunt in the future."

...

Zhu Yinlan was immersed in this "cool" feeling all day yesterday. For the first time since driving a taxi, she felt that being her "sister" was so happy.

Zhu Yinlan is the captain of the "Rose Red" special service fleet. She told reporters that the biggest feature of the "Rose Red" special service fleet is the dazzling "pink". “In addition to being an easier-to-recognize color, pink also symbolizes feminine delicacy and tenderness.” While the original green body was changed to pink, the seat covers and umbrellas in the car were also chosen to be pink like the body. In order to highlight the "rose red" logo, the designers also sprayed a delicate rose on the front cover of the car.

In addition to the warm and eye-catching colors, the facilities in the car are also much more detailed than ordinary taxis. For example, the car is equipped with a convenience box containing motion sickness medicine, vomiting bags, trauma medicine, sewing kits, etc.; the latest version of Huzhou map and pink umbrellas. In view of the fact that pregnant women have limited mobility and the back seats of taxis are short, they also prepared a special cushion for pregnant women in the car to make them more comfortable while riding. Zhu Yinlan said: "We also provide pick-up and drop-off services for new mothers. If the newlyweds want to rent a car, they can also make an appointment by phone."

Background "Pink Girls" all have prominent "origins"

Open The drivers of the "Rose Red" taxi fleet all have distinguished backgrounds: they are either provincial four-star drivers, or they have been rated as advanced drivers for several consecutive years.

"'Rose Red' is an important measure taken by the industry management department to guide enterprises and female drivers to gradually establish brand awareness and promote the improvement of service quality in the Huzhou taxi industry." Director of the Taxi Management Office of the Huzhou Transportation Management Office Shen Xiaodong told reporters that among the fleet's service commitments, "passengers first" is placed first.

“Everyone is in a good mood or a bad mood. It is certainly not easy to truly put passengers first. When we selected these female drivers, in order to test whether their services are meticulous and Patience, one of our female drivers was so embarrassed that she almost burst into tears, but she still managed to deliver the passengers to their destination.

Will "Rose Red" attract bad people?

The "Rose Red" fleet with its clear logo and enthusiastic service has attracted praise, but also attracted objections: You can tell at a glance that a woman is driving, aren't you afraid that thieves will take notice?

When I heard that a sister from Huzhou was going to open a pink rental car, Wang Ping (pseudonym) from Hangzhou immediately expressed her opposition. Wang Ping has been driving a taxi in Hangzhou for 10 years. She still has an obvious scar on her hand. It was left after a "hand-to-hand encounter" with two people who were about to rob her on a summer evening in 2003. "This unforgettable experience gave Wang Ping a deeper understanding of her sister's personal safety. She told reporters, "Women who drive taxis pay more energy and cost than men, so clearly marking themselves. Being a woman will definitely attract many people with bad intentions, and I am very worried about them. ”

A policeman from the Hangzhou Transportation Security Bureau who has long been responsible for taxi safety management told reporters that what Wang Ping encountered was not an exception, especially when female drivers drove night buses in the past and were physically assaulted. The probability of threats to property safety is indeed relatively high. “Some people specifically target female taxi drivers. Vicious cases of female taxi drivers being killed and sexually assaulted have occurred not only in Hangzhou, but also across the province. So nowadays, male drivers usually drive taxis at night. "

Countermeasures: Drivers of pink cars should learn self-defense skills

"We have also considered these concerns and are currently discussing with the public security department to provide these female drivers with emergency medical treatment. , self-prevention, image etiquette and other content training. " Shen Xiaodong told reporters that the self-defense training will focus on how to get rid of the gangsters as quickly as possible, how to delay as much time as possible in such a small space in the car, etc. "At the same time, we will also add women's self-defense skills. Developed teaching plan. I believe these courses are very useful for these female drivers. ”

Shen Xiaodong also provided the following things that female taxi drivers should pay attention to when driving: first, they should improve their vigilance and safety awareness, and install safety barriers in the car; second, single female drivers should Try not to travel far away, especially don't take groups of men on a long journey; thirdly, if you want to go out of the city or travel far, try to bring friends with you or call the police for consultation; fourthly, if you encounter robbery, don't Try your best to protect your property and save your life first.

As for safety issues, Zhu Yinlan said that even if it is a rose-red fleet car, it must be a male driver.

“No matter what kind of training you receive, the key is that you should have a brain and a pair of eyes that can identify.
