Taxis back in business in Sanya

HAIKOU: Taxi drivers in Sanya, Hainan province, went back to work yesterday, bringing to a close their three-day protest, local authorities said in a press release.

About 200 drivers had been protesting since Monday in front of the city's government building.

Chen Zhibang, head of the Sanya transport bureau, said the cabbies agreed to end the strike after the city's government promised to take measures to reduce their monthly rental fees and crack down on illegal operators.
