The reporter learned from the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Commission yesterday that on the first day of the Guangzhou Municipal Government’s introduction of eight measures to support the taxi industry, various government departments and enterprises began to implement them, and introduced some new specific measures. The operating environment of taxis has begun to improve significantly. It is reported that companies have abolished internal penalties for drivers who violate regulations, and entertainment venues will be disqualified if they are found to have charged waiting fees to their brothers.
Some estimates suggest that the actual monthly income per vehicle will increase by more than 1,000 yuan compared to before the implementation of the new policy.

Public security traffic police dispatched to protect taxi rights
New Express News (reporter, Li Guohui, intern, Liu Lili, correspondent, Tian Jigang, Gong Xuan) Yesterday, Guangzhou traffic police and other departments cooperated with the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Commission to safeguard the rights and interests of legal taxis with practical actions.
In the city-wide crackdown on illegal operations launched yesterday, a large number of car inspection points were deployed. At the car inspection point on Dasha Road, Huangpu District, within 40 minutes during the peak work period, law enforcement officers successively seized five illegally operated vehicles, including off-site taxis and blue-label cars. After a Lu Feng taxi and a Zengcheng taxi were seized, all the drivers and passengers abandoned the car and fled.
Reporters saw that the vehicles seized were all "looking" and the front door of the driver’s seat of Lu Fengzhi was not closed tightly. After investigation, the taxi with the sign of "Yuanhui" company has been operating in Huangpu District for a long time. Unlike ordinary taxis, this car is also specially equipped with a small radio station. There are more than 10 "Yuanhui" company taxis in Huangpu, all controlled by one boss. Once a car is caught, the drivers use the small radio to inform each other.
Guangzhou police officials said that they will continue to step up efforts to crack down on illegal operations, cloning, licensing of taxis and the manufacture and sale of fake taxi licenses. For the illegal acts that disrupt social order, such as blocking roads, deliberately driving slowly, smashing and looting, illegal gatherings, and inciting riots, causing trouble, threatening the personal safety of others, and cracking down on retaliation, the police will crack down in accordance with the law to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of taxi employees are not violated.

The relevant person in charge of Baiyun Airport told reporters that there were more than 300 operating taxis in the two taxi dispatches yesterday, which was close to the number on weekdays, which was enough to ensure the demand of passengers. The Airport Express said that an emergency leadership team was established yesterday to ensure the normal operation of passenger buses while mobilizing all non-operating vehicles to stand by at the new airport, ready to support the evacuation of passengers at any time.
"Baiyun Airport has more than a dozen special buses bound for the city and many cities in the Pearl River Delta, so even if taxis cannot meet the needs of passengers, they will not cause passengers to be stranded at the airport," the relevant person in charge told reporters.
It is reported that the emergency plan of Baiyun Airport has also formulated response measures for possible situations such as blocked urban roads and blocked terminals. At the same time, all members of the emergency team were required to attend the scene yesterday to direct and monitor, so as to respond to problems in a timely manner and deal with them in a timely manner.
