Two weeks after another round of oil price hikes, taxi drivers in Beijing
will receive possible financial support.
In addition to the existing monthly petrol subsidy of 300 yuan (US$37), taxi
drivers whose cab charges are 1.6 yuan (20 US cents) or 2 yuan (25 US cents) per
kilometre will be given 150 yuan (US$18) per month, the Beijing Times
reported.
But not all taxi drivers will get the additional subsidy, as it is the taxi
companies instead of the city government that will provide the
money.
