Help Me Get a Taxi to the Station

How to use this card

1. Save it before you travel. Download the whole pack from /rescue-cards/ and it works offline — no app, no data plan.
2. Show the big Chinese line to whoever you are talking to. They read characters; the English at the bottom is for you.
3. Say it out loud too if they hesitate. A spoken request gets a faster answer than a silent card, and repeating it removes all doubt.
4. Read the English to understand the reply.

What they will likely say

• “好的，我去帮您叫车。” — Sure, I will call a taxi for you.
• “火车站还是机场？” — The train station or the airport?
• “大概三十块，二十分钟。” — About thirty yuan, twenty minutes.
• “您在这里等一下，马上来。” — Wait here a moment, one is coming right now.

Pro tips

• A taxi ordered by a hotel may cost more than Didi but saves the account setup entirely. For an airport run it is worth it.
• If you are catching a train, add the departure time: 赶车 (gǎn chē) means “catch the train” and it signals urgency to the desk.
• For the airport, 国际 (guójì) departure hall is 国际航站楼. Saying it saves a long conversation at the kerb.
