How about driving a taxi in Lhasa?

Taxis mainly include transportation management fee, passenger surcharge, road maintenance fee, comprehensive performance testing fee, parking fee, driver management fee, road maintenance fee, industrial and commercial management fee and safety testing fee, totaling 9 items.

In order to reduce the burden on taxi operators caused by the rising price of refined oil and promote the healthy development of taxi industry in our region, the Finance Department of the Autonomous Region and the Development and Reform Commission have cleaned up and rectified the above-mentioned charging items, canceled two charging items and lowered four charging standards.

The two taxi charges cancelled in 2006 are: industrial and commercial management fees charged by industrial and commercial administrative departments; Security inspection fee charged by the public security department. The items to reduce the charging standard are as follows: the parking fee charged by Lhasa Taxi Safety Management Office is reduced from 60 yuan to 30 yuan every month; The comprehensive performance inspection fee charged by the traffic inspection department is reduced from 190 yuan to 95 yuan, from 170 yuan to 85 yuan, and from 150 yuan to 75 yuan. The road maintenance fees charged by the traffic inspection department were reduced from 90 yuan to 45 yuan, from 80 yuan to 40 yuan, and from 70 yuan to 35 yuan. The road maintenance fee charged by the collection department is reduced from 150 yuan per month to 90 yuan.
