Scenic Area E-Cart Pricing Issues Raise Regulatory Questions

Scenic area e-cart rental services have drawn complaints over high prices, rounded-up overtime billing, restricted zones and insufficient return points. A visitor paid RMB 410 for 6.5 hours in Wenzhou; a Beijing Daxing park charges RMB 180/hour for four-person carts with RMB 2.5/minute overtime and RMB 100-200 dispatch fees. Experts note scene exclusivity and lack of government-guided pricing, plus overlapping regulatory duties. Recommendations include shorter billing units, fee caps and a joint recognition mechanism.
