20 taxi and bus drivers are named and shamed
Print Edition
TEN bus drivers and 10 taxi drivers with the most traffic offenses in the past seven months were named and shamed by police yesterday.
Furthermore, police said they would make monthly announcements of the top bus and taxi driving offenders from now on.
Their plates and the companies they work for will be publicized along with the number of their offenses.
This is part of a continuing crackdown on traffic offenses that started toward the end of March.
The bus driver highest on the list, who works for Shanghai Jinshan Automobile Transportation Co, had 13 offenses, while the worst offending taxi driver is employed by Shanghai Wenhuixinmin Automobile Service Co and had 41 offenses.
Wei Kairen, vice chief of Shanghai traffic police, said all 20 named and shamed had paid their fines.
Wei added that at least seven of the 10 bus drivers on the list worked in rural districts, and their most common offenses were illegal lane changing and illegal use of emergency lanes on expressways.
“In the urban districts, a large number of offenses from bus drivers are about illegal honking and picking up and letting off passengers where they are not supposed to,” Wei said.
Li Jun, a deputy general manager of Dazhong Group, one of whose taxi drivers was on the list, told Shanghai Daily that the driver would be penalized.
In the past seven months, police said they had issued fines for 9,700 offenses around the city by bus drivers and 390,000 by taxi drivers.
