CRI听力:Shanghai Launches Rush-hour Taxis Project to Facilitate Roadside Hailers
Authorities in Shanghai have initiated a new project to help people hail taxis in the downtown area.
Around 6-thousand taxis are going to be allowed during rush-hours to pick up street-fares.
This is around 10 percent of all the taxis in Shanghai.
The taxis themselves will only be on the street during the morning and afternoon commutes during the weekdays.
Sun Jian is with the Shanghai Transport and Port Administration. "The project not only helps taxi-booking apps, but also meets the needs of people with no access to the Internet, such as elderly people."
The taxis themselves will have different color signs in the windshield to desginate that they are street-fare-only taxis.
Shanghai, China's most populous city, is notorious for its lack of available taxis.
