Transportation Scenes in Modern China - 2008

Beijing Taxi - 12

Because of the Olympics, (due in a month from when to took this picture) China has cleaned up the transportation situation in Beijing. All the old busses have been banned, No rust, dents are allowed. All the taxis were upgraded to full-sized sedans and must have no rust or dents. Prices are very cheap by western standards. Here the six of us travel in two taxis to our hotel. Many taxi companies operate in Beijing. All are equipped with two-way radios.
