It is easier to rub by in Beijing and Shanghai, which are both fairly touristy, but simple things, like taking a taxi, remain nearly impossible without a bit of Mandarin.

很容易考察一下北京和上海，北京和上海均是旅游目的地。举个简单的例子，如果不懂点普通话的话，打的都成问题。

Then with so many taxis in Beijing, what caused the difficulty in taking a taxi?

北京有这么多的出租车，打车难的问题究竟出在哪里？
