Well, responding to feedback from the public, local traffic authorities have decided to resume ride-hailing services within the airport area starting today, February 4.
According to the original notice, the ban had been made “to ensure the smooth and orderly movement of traffic, especially during the Spring Festival.”
Over at Hongqiao, they have taken rather a different approach, implementing a policy of one hour free parking in the area for ride-hailing services throughout the day.
That’s more like it Shanghai, that’s more like it.
A very xin nian kuai le to one and all!
