Private driver asks court to quash fine
Print Edition
A DRIVER fined 20,000 yuan (US$3,221.60) for offering zhuanche, or private car services, yesterday asked a court to quash the fine in the country鈥檚 first lawsuit concerning the legality of zhuanche through third-party apps.
Chen Chao, a driver offering services via the Didi app since December, was caught picking up two passengers in Jinan, capital of east China鈥檚 Shandong Province, on January 7.
The Jinan transport administration fined him for illegal taxi operations. But Chen told Jinan Intermediate People鈥檚 Court he didn鈥檛 believe he was acting as an illegal taxi driver.
In November, Chen had been verified by the taxi-booking app company to run zhuanche, according to a report in the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper.
Chen said that before being allowed to offer services, zhuanche drivers had to be well trained, have cars under 3 years old and have at least three years鈥 driving experience.
In an interview with China Cental TV, Chen said that if anyone should be punished, it should be Didi.
The court didn鈥檛 announced a verdict yesterday.
Last month, China鈥檚 transport minister, Yang Chuantang told the Beijing Times that the nation was encouraging the development of zhuanche, but not the use of private cars.
