申城交通部门出动便衣执法人员查出租车拒载   2014-10-23

 

PLAINCLOTHES traffic law enforcement officers have launched a campaign to catch city taxi drivers who refuse to take passengers traveling only a short distance.

Drivers found refusing a fare when their “for hire” sign is illuminated will receive a 200 yuan (US$33) fine and be suspended for 15 days, said the Shanghai Traffic Law Enforcement Team.

The crackdown follows an increasing number of complaints about cabbies cherry-picking fares, said the team.
