It's really not that hard.
Didi eliminates all this, much better option.

My brother came to visit me around 10 years ago, in the days before didi. He doesn't speak any Chinese and ended up getting charged 500+ for his ride into town from PVG. How was he to know he was ripped? He assumed it was the normal price. He only found out later when asking me if it was the right price.
