The Japanese passenger receives the overcharged money
The electronic receipt showed that the foreigners had to pay a total VND192,000 (USD3.60) for the 8-kilometre distance. However, when they were transported to a hotel on Hang Duong Street, the driver ordered them to pay VND2 million (USD86.9).
Despite disagreeing with the fees, the passengers still paid and then informed the hotel security guards as well as local police.
On Wednesday, the driver was requested to come to Hang Dao Ward’s police station to work on the case. Quang repaid the Japanese and then apologised them for what he had done.
The police are considering the appropriate punishment for Quang’s violation.
