in February this year, 311 cars belonging to the Ji'nan Lian Yun Taxi Company unify a new generation of POS, which became the first cabs to install the equipment in the provincial capital. Unlike the black POS installed at the time of the joint transport company, the installation of the POS color changed into a more striking orange, a lot more visible in the car than before. "Passengers can see the fare to be paid on the POS machine, then use the UnionPay card in their hands, choose to pay by credit card or Flash payment." The POS machine supports the chip card. If you pay the card, you need to confirm the electronic signature on the driver's mobile phone. If you choose the "flash", you can pay for it when you hear the "beep". "We are now pushing the flash, and now many bank cards have flicker functions, and passengers will be able to pay for taxi fare as long as a part of the money circle of the bank is entered into a flash account."
taxi driver: the POS machine installed has not opened
for 5 months. "This system is too tedious. It must have Bluetooth and network." Ji'nan Association taxi company's taxi company, Cheng Guang, said that since the new generation of POS, nearly 5 months after the new generation, the passengers he had pulled did not have a card payment.
Cheng Guang said that if passengers use a UnionPay card, they must ensure that the network is smooth, otherwise the electronic signature can not be completed, and it is impossible to complete the transaction. "And the use of the UnionPay card also has to lose the password. If the passengers are sitting in the back, it is not as convenient to get cash as soon as possible." Although the
7 pm, Zhang Hua, a brother of Ji'nan Hengtong Taxi Company (pseudonym), showed the POS of his car to reporters. Unlike Cheng Guang, he had just installed for less than half a month, and there were 7 successful passenger transactions. "To be honest, I think it's OK to use it. Taxi POS machine does not have paper roll, it is through mobile phone to inquire money deduct money information. After the card is swiped, the information on the arrival and payment will be displayed on the mobile phone of us and the passengers immediately, and the certificate will be retained through the "electronic signature". But he admitted that the 7 passengers were young people under 30 years of age.
passengers: prefer to send family money or credit card
interview, Cheng Guang (a pseudonym) told reporters that he met last month. "At that time, he pulled a male passenger about 40 years old. When he got ready to get off the bus, he found out that the money was not enough. As soon as I saw that he had many bank cards in his wallet, he told him that there was a POS machine on the car, which could support the flash payment of bank cards and mobile phones. It was very convenient. But after listening to the presentation, he insisted on making a phone call for the family to send money downstairs. Cheng Guang said that the man who lived in Hakka lived in the G District of sunshine 100 District, at least a quarter of an hour's walk from the gate of the community.
"when we waited for his family, we talked about why he didn't want to use POS." Although our company's more than 300 cars were installed, the popularity is still low, and many passengers haven't even heard about it. The male passenger said that there were many problems with the POS machine now, and a POS machine that had never been touched in a strange taxi always felt that it would disclose his bank card information, so he would rather have his family to send money. "
Cheng Guang said that in the 5 months after the installation of the POS, many passengers were interested in "flash", but most were reluctant to try with their own bank cards. He feels that this payment method needs further promotion. "Maybe more than 8000 cars in the city will be better, and things will get better."
reporter learned that the promotion of this provincial city taxi POS machine is initiated by the Ji'nan city public passenger management service center (hereinafter referred to as the Ji'nan municipal customer management center). Cui Bing, director of the Ji'nan Municipal Center for management, believes that it is necessary to promote electronic payment in taxis. It can effectively reduce the trouble of drivers' finding zero, avoid the risk of collecting money and counterfeit money, and improve the safety of taxi operation.
