意思
Hailing or getting a taxi.
文化背景
The 'informal taxi' system is a staple of UB life. Any car can be a taxi. You stand on the curb, put your hand out, and a private citizen might stop to give you a ride for a fee. When you catch a taxi, it is common to sit in the front seat and chat with the driver about traffic or the weather. It's a social experience. Payment is usually calculated by the car's odometer. As of 2024, the standard rate is around 1500-2000 MNT per kilometer. Foreigners are advised to use official apps like UBCab or call registered taxi companies (e.g., 1900-1991) rather than hailing random cars at night.
The Hand Gesture
Keep your palm facing the ground and wave slightly. Don't point your finger up!
Price Check
Always check the odometer (counter) or agree on a price before the car starts moving.

Front Seat
Don't be shy to sit in the front. It's very common in Mongolia and seen as more friendly.
UBCab App
If you are a foreigner, download the UBCab app. It's the local 'Uber' and much easier than street hailing.
