Hailing a Tianjin City Taxi
Hailing a taxi is very easy in Tianjin.  Stepping off the curb and holding out your arm.
•When just the front is lit, the cab is available.
•When no lights are lit, the cab is occupied.

As a taxi rider, you have the right to:
Direct the destination and route used;
Travel to any destination in and beyond Tianjin; 
A driver should know the streets in Tianjinand the way to major destinations in Tianjin;

Air-conditioning on demand;
A radio-free trip;
No Smoking
A clean passenger seat area;
A clean trunk

Taxi Stands
There are over 200 hundeds taxi stands in Tianjin. Taxi stands are located at major transit hubs, hotels, office and retail centers and hospitals throughout Tianjin. But these are not enough for people to take taxis. So very often you have to hail a taxi from a non-taxi stand.

  1. We are arriving in Tianjin on the Diamond Princess on the 9th October. Can we hire a taxi or car or bus to take us to Tianjin Railway station to catch the bullet train to Beinjing.

  2. admin says:

    Yes, basically there are some taxis waiting in line outside the cruise home building. Just take a taxi to the Tanggu Railway Station or Tianjin Railway Station and buy the bullet train tickets for a latest train for Beijing. There are plentiful trains from Tianjin to Beijing, but limited number of trains from Tanggu to Beijing.

    Tianjin Cruise Home Port – Tianjin Railway Station Taxi fare: about RMB 160
    Tianjin Cruise Home Port – Tanggu Railway Station taxi fare: about RMB 40

  3. Dave Maynard says:

    We are arriving on the Diamond Princess on 1st May at Tianjin International Cruise Home Port Terminal. With it being a public holiday we want to take a taxi to Tianjin Railway station because the Bullet Trains are much more regular and available without booking.

    Will the price still be about RMB 160? What is the translation for “Please take me to Tianjin Railway station”

    Thank you

  4. admin says:

    RMB 160 is only for your reference. “Please take me to Tianjin Railway station” Chinese version:

    请把我送到天津火车站“。

    Have a nice trip!
