    "Content": " Taipei City introduced e-tickets to taxi services in August 2009 to facilitate easier fare payment, to reduce the waiting time for change due and to solve the driver’s problem of not having the correct change at times. There is an estimated fleet of 15,000 taxis operating in the Taipei municipality accept fare payments by EasyCard. Passengers may simply pay for taxi fares by swiping their EasyCard using the card reader installed at the back of the driver’s seat. Payment is deducted straight away and the machine prints out an e-receipt containing information of the ride including the name of the taxi fleet operator, time of the ride, the taxi’s registration number, card number, the total fare charge and the card balance before and after payment deduction. Users of taxi services may use the e-receipt for expense claim or account inquiry.Taipei City Government has planned to integrate the transportation resources of the radio or satellite taxi-dispatch services to set up the Senior Citizen & Handicapped Taxi Service to offer senior citizens and people with disabilities and their families more diverse transportation solutions. Citizens may call the taxi service hotline (11 participating taxi fleet operators) and explain to the operator their intension to use the Senior Citizen & Handicapped Taxi Service to receive the subsidized rate.Who Are EligibleSenior or handicapped citizens with the Senior Citizen (1) or Handicapped (1) EasyCard issued by the Taipei City Government are eligible.Anyone who wishes to apply for the Senior Citizen (1) or Handicapped (1) EasyCard may contact the Department of Social Welfare, Taipei City Government on 1999 ext. 6966 ~ 8 or the Social Welfare Section of the District Office located in the area of the applicant’s permanent residence.Note:1.

For each taxi trip subsidy equivalent to NT$65 is deducted, the remaining cost of the taxi trip at less than the correct subsidy amount as described above is then paid out of the cardholder’s own top-up value.Note: Holders of the Senior Citizen (1) or Handicapped (1) EasyCard are unable to use their EasyCard to make fare payments if the card has insufficient balance to pay for the fare due after deducting the subsidy amount, meaning that they are unable to enjoy the benefits provided by the government.

    "title": "Taxi Profile",
    "Content": "Taxi ProfileWhen did taxi services start in Taipei? It should be dated back to the Japanese Colonial Period. However at that time, taxis were for the wealthy exclusively, such as the Lin family from Banciao. Most people used cycle rickshaws instead. In the late 1950s, taxis were introduced in Taiwan.In the 1960s, cars were widely used in many developed countries and cycle rickshaws were gradually replaced by taxis. But in the primary stage, the government didn't control the number of taxis. Obtaining a taxi driving license was easy and the number of taxis increased rapidly.As a result, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications started to exercise more control. But the ease of acquiring taxi driver's licenses and the approval of a taxi cooperative further increased the number of taxis. That number reached a peak of 39,408. Eventually, the establishment of a Taipei Bus network and the Taipei MRT led to a yearly decrease in the number of taxis.The 1990s saw the emergence of taxi fleets owned by different companies such as Evergreen, Lian-jiou, Cheng-kung, Jiu-yi, Taiwan Taxi, Da-ai, and so on. Each fleet sought to provide the best service to passengers as part of a campaign to improve Taipei City’s image, and to increase competition.In the past, it was confusing for passengers to distinguish private cars from taxis. For example, it was difficult to tell them apart at midnight; it confused foreigners because taxis did not have a common designated color. Furthermore, some drivers had illegally installed taxi overhead lamps, thus aggravating taxi service management for the government . So on 6th June 1990, the Taipei City Taxi Business Association decided on "yellow" as the best color for taxis, after conducting a survey with questionnaires.On 1st Jan 1991, the Car Transportation Management Regulation no.91, mandated "Yellow hue no. 18" as the standard color for taxis.The color yellow is eye-catching, easy to recognize, and car owners will unlikely choose it as the color for their own cars. Many countries have their own particular colors for their taxis. But in Taiwan, when you say "hsiao-huang" (little yellow thing), "taxi" comes to mind.Taxi Pricing SystemDaytime (06:00~23:00)Nighttime (23:00~06:00)Extra fare charged during Chinese New YearService ChargeBegin the journeyNT$85 (1.25 km)Begin the journeyNT$85 (1.25 km)From three days before Chinese New Year's Eve to the end of holidays for the Lunar New Year period1. No extra fare-charged at nighttime: Based on the fixed taxi fare table, 'extra fare-charged at nighttime', and NT$30 is charged each journey.2. Extra fare-charged at nighttime: Apart from 'extra fare-charged at nighttime', NT$50 is charged for each journey.Along the journeyNT$5 (per 200m)Proceed the journeyNT$5 (per 200m)Waiting time fee(speed is below 5km per hour)NT$5 (per 60 sec)Waiting timefee(speed is below 5km per hour)NT$5 (per 60 sec)Additional charge of NT$ 20- per tripNotes'Extra fare-charged' as requiredApart from 'extra fare-charged at nighttime', NT$20 is charged for each journey.Operation InformationBased on taxi operation statistics, Taipei City has the greatest number of taxis, 30,000. The number has dropped from around 39,000 taxis after the establishment of the taxi cooperative in 1996. According to the investigation of taxi operation in Taipei City in 2010, taxi drivers in Taipei City work a median 27-28 days per month; 10.49 hours per day; taxi in vacancy was around 6.63 hours; 15.81 rounds; 169 km; The pay is NT$2657 per day.Taipei City Public Transportation Office planned to improve taxi service quality while slashing the time that the taxi is left vacant.In order to improve the taxi service quality, Taipei City Public Transportation Office has set up one hundred and seventy taxi stands until May 2012,including MRT stations, department stores and hospitals etc.How to take a taxi",
