Some nonlocal reporters in Jinan give their thumps up on Jinan s beautiful scenery such as the mountains, springs, rivers and lakes as well as Jinan people s hospitality. However, some reporters point out that some Taxi drivers speak in their Jinan dialect, which make the nonlocal people hard to understand. Therefore, the taxi drivers are suggested to speak Putong Hua.
Language is the key for communication and the carrier for service. If nonlocal visitors can not understand what the taxi drivers said, they will have difficulties in communication, which will cause inconvenience when taking a taxi to some place.
Therefore, Jinan taxi drivers should receive some training of Putong Hua so as to overcome the language obstacles, build a bridge for communication and offer good service.
