The man, surnamed Fan, said he was inspired to start the business after seeing taxi drivers refusing to let passengers carry their pets with them in the car. Fan and his friends started soliciting business on the Internet in November. He said holidays are the peak times for business. Fan received four to five calls per day during the Spring Festival holiday. His car can accommodate two large dogs at a time. The owner must accompany the pets at all times. Fan charges 15 yuan ($1.92) for the first 5 kilometers and 2 yuan ($0.26) for every following kilometer. He said he disinfected the car after every ride.
