蘭桂坊去銅鑼灣要$150
|
【本報訊】港人喜愛夜蒲,中環蘭桂坊更是蒲友朝聖地;然而這個香港地標,近年卻遭一群新興「海鮮的」入侵;蒲友盡興過後,還要拖着帶醉倦極身軀,與他人鬥快鬥高價爭的士回家。《蘋果》連續三個周五至周日,直擊「海鮮的」劏客實況,司機全部鎖車門,然後校低車窗,任由模、老外、醉漢自行開價爭上車,到尖沙嘴要200元、銅鑼灣都要150元,在蘭桂坊爭的士猶如進入拍賣場。記者:葉競科 陳兆剛
蘭桂坊的士爭奪戰,逢周五周六或假期前夕定必出現,並於深宵二時揭開戰幔,地點包括Clubbing場聚集的威靈頓街、以及介乎蘭桂坊及皇后大道中的德己立街路段。
每逢周末或假期前夕,蘭桂坊深宵時分便會出現「海鮮的士」;蒲友要爭相出價,或者接受遠超車資的定價,才搶到的士回家。陳兆剛攝 | 「私影模」譚小姐一身性感夜蒲裝束,但在街頭截的士也頻頻「食檸檬」,她炮轟海鮮的有損蘭桂坊的旅遊景點形象。 | 駐守蘭桂坊警察,以驅趕或票控雙黃線上落客等方式,阻撓海鮮的。 |
冚旗鎖門等出價
剛於酒吧遣興的俊男美女,分立行車線左右兩旁,不約而同伸手,務求截車回家或轉場再玩。然而駛入兩街之的士,超過九成「冚旗」,並把車門緊鎖,卻校低司機位左右車窗,任由蒲友於兩旁探頭問價;熟行情者會主動抬價求載,有時則由司機開價。「按錶加100元去旺角!」、「150元去銅鑼灣!」抬價聲此起彼落,司機聽到合心水的地點及價錢才把車門打開,否則耍耍手繼續前行。有接連遭拒的蒲友,為吸引司機目光半開玩笑說:「馬鞍山!馬鞍山夠遠未?機場嘞!去機場!」可惜仍是無果,換來謾罵四起。
衣着性感的美少女,在夜場或者受盡擁戴,在街頭截車卻勁食檸檬。職業為「私影模」的譚小姐,酒後準備到上環會合朋友,苦等20分鐘仍未獲接載。「我之前住土瓜灣,諗住過海多車載啦,點知司機都係開價加100元。其實呢個情況持續咗成年,我覺得好影響香港旅遊形象囉!」
《蘋果》放蛇親歷「海鮮的」劏客實況。記者向冚旗的士聲稱到灣仔盧押道,此路程按咪錶收費約35元,但結果要多付50元才獲接載。該錢姓司機肆無忌憚說:「可以用錢去慳番啲時間,都係各取所需啫!載酒鬼好冒險,佢哋郁手郁腳兼嘔到成車都係,加錢當買保險咋!」
警方檢控有難度
記者再測試由蘭桂坊去尖沙嘴,這次司機主動開價;原本70元車費,他定價200元,接近3倍。溫姓司機稱:「截的士睇situation嘅!車費短加長減,你話去元朗我唔睬你!我最鍾意載鬼佬,佢哋返中環四季酒店都肯畀150元,轉頭可以即刻返蘭桂坊再排隊。我見你斯文至載你咋!」其實每逢夜蒲黃金時間,警方已加派警員到蘭桂坊疏導交通,一方面票控雙黃線上落客的司機作阻嚇,同時驅趕慢駛博搶高價「海鮮的」,但由於檢控司機不按咪錶載客需要放蛇,軍裝警無奈放生這班劏客「海鮮的」,並經常因為驅趕對方、令蒲友遲遲未能截車而發火,引發警民衝突。

兩次截糊
|
蘭桂坊「海鮮的」劏客一視同仁,無論老外還是蒲友都中招。著名夜店Dragon-i老闆、份屬「老蘭蒲王」的楊其龍,上月底被拍到於夜店消遣後,打算截的士離開時兩次遭人「截糊」。深深不忿的他,結果主動提出「睇錶再加二百!」才獲司機接載,非常失威。
惡行影響旅遊業
的士小巴聯盟主席黎銘洪坦言,對蘭桂坊深宵時分被「海鮮的」壟斷表示關注,「佢哋冚旗鎖門、由乘客自行開價嘅方式,其實仍然係犯法,問題係警方要檢控嘅話必須要放蛇,一般軍裝警無可奈何啫!呢個現象好影響香港旅遊業,我一定向警方建議打擊呢班『海鮮的』。」據現行法例,的士司機不能向乘客濫收車費,違者最高可判罰一萬元及監禁六個月。但業內人士坦言,警方一般只會發出約一千元罰款告票,根本不足以阻嚇業內敗類。這群「海鮮的」掠遊客的惡行,其實不止濫收車費,警方宜應高度關注,「例如話大陸客買咗幾袋名牌,放喺的士尾箱,落車時司機趁亂畀少一袋,事後攞去變賣;亦有司機睇準旅客唔熟悉本地銀紙,明明收咗大額銀紙,就找碎紙畀人,根本係詐騙。」
