Chongqing has made an explanation for the suspension of taxis, and more than 1,000 vehicles have resumed operation

　　On November 3, Liang Peijun, deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal Transportation Commission, reported that at 5:30 a.m. that day, some taxis in the main city of Chongqing could not operate normally due to obstruction, causing considerable difficulties for the local people to travel. The investigation by the Chongqing public security organs found that some taxi drivers prevented other taxis from operating on the road by intercepting taxis on the road and damaging vehicle parts (roof lights, rearview mirrors, etc.). It is said that some people obstructed the normal operation of taxis this time, mainly due to contradictions between taxi companies and drivers’ interests distribution; some taxi drivers believe that the current taxi rental price structure is unreasonable and the waiting time fee is too low; the phenomenon of "difficult refueling" of taxis in Chongqing has not been completely solved. As of 16:00, more than 1,000 taxis have resumed operation in the main city of Chongqing. The picture shows that "yellow label cars" are rarely seen on the streets of Chongqing.
