City taxi companies start accepting bookings from students taking college entrance exam
Online Edition
Shanghai's main taxi companies are starting to accept taxi bookings from students planning to attend the college entrance exam on June 7 and 8.
The four companies - Qiangsheng, Dazhong, Jinjiang and Haibo - will start taking orders Saturday morning, one week before the exam time.
Students with disabilities or those from city-level Model Worker families can enjoy taxi service for free after a booking from the dispatch center.
To encourage its drivers to provide service for students attending the exam, Shanghai Qiangsheng Taxi Co is offering a 10-yuan bonus to the cabbies for each ride. The company also required the drivers to study the road situation in advance for better service.
According to the taxi companies, they received several thousand booking orders during last year's college entrance exam period but some passengers canceled on short notice. The taxi companies are building a passenger-accountability system, and those who keep missing appointments will encounter difficulty in booking future rides, the companies said.
About 52,000 Shanghai high school students will sit for the college entrance exam this year, while universities and colleges across China plan to enroll 43,000 Shanghai students via the exam.
The Shanghai Metro operator said it would give priority to students heading for exams during the period. The Metro stations that limit passengers in commute hours will open green tunnels for students holding admission cards for the exam. Those close to venues where the exam is being given will put out signs to give direction to the students.
