The article mentioned that on February 17, after tourist Fu Moumou posted a request for help on self-media for encountering a temporary price increase in chartered cars in Changbai Mountain, the Changbai Mountain Protection and Development Zone immediately launched an investigation and handling with relevant parties.
After verification, Fu Moumou rented Pan Moumou's private car through an online intermediary. On the way to the scenic spot, the driver had a dispute because he failed to promote tourist fee services to Fu Moumou, and stopped midway.
After investigation, it was found that the driver Pan Moumou had not obtained professional qualifications, and the vehicle had no relevant operating procedures, which posed serious transportation safety risks. He himself also admitted the fact of illegal operation. In accordance with the "Road Transport Regulations of the People's Republic of China" and the "Jilin Province Transportation Administrative Penalty Discretionary Standards", the local transportation department imposed an administrative penalty of 30,000 yuan on Pan Moumou according to the upper limit.
The article emphasizes that at present, based on the preliminary work, the Changbai Mountain Protection and Development Zone is working with surrounding areas to increase the crackdown on various illegal activities that affect road traffic order and safety, especially illegal operations, to ensure the protection of every tourist legitimate rights and interests, and strive to create a safe, orderly and comfortable tourism environment, and strive to allow every tourist to have a good tourism experience in Changbai Mountain.
