Chongqing to Lift Taxi Fares

管理员

The Chongqing Municipal government has given local taxi companies permission to raise taxi fares, starting from May 5, although no public hearings have been held and no reports of the rise have appeared in the Chongqing press. Taxi drivers have simply been asked to go to the technical supervision department to have their meters "adjusted." According to an announcement posted at the offices of one Chongqing taxi company: the starting fare of Chongqing taxis will be lifted from 5 to 8 yuan (but the current 3 yuan fuel surcharge will be dropped), the current method of calculating the fare when the cab is not moving will now also include the time when the cab is moving at a slow speed and the price per km will be lifted from 1.2 yuan to 1.8 yuan.
