Concern for taxi drivers

Finally, taxi drivers can see a ray of hope that they may no longer be helpless in the face of the merciless demands of taxi companies.

The Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions jointly convened a television and telephone conference to discuss the grievances of taxi drivers on Monday.

After the conference the Ministry of Transport promised that it will push the taxi companies to be transparent about their costs, so both parties can agree how much money a taxi driver will pay for the use of a taxi and in social security contributions when drawing up a contract.
