Manage taxis better

The Chongqing municipal government's prompt action to end a strike by taxi drivers should be lauded.

It ordered taxi companies to lower the management fee they charge taxi drivers to last year's level. This charge raised by companies without the approval of the local government had reduced the income of drivers by more than 20,000 yuan ($2,898) a year.

It is not the first strike of its kind in recent years and will not be the last until the taxi management system is reasonably streamlined.
