Taxi stands piloted in HCM CityVietNamNet Bridge – In an effort to prevent taxis from driving around to pick up passengers and causing traffic congestion, at the beginning of this month the HCM City authorities launched a pilot programme placing five taxi stands at five locations in the downtown area of District 1. And putting up taxi stands is one of the sensible measures, in my opinion. Citizens should be given some incentives to actually go hail taxis at taxi stands when they can do it anywhere else. Some people said the five current stands in HCM City were not really accessible to most passengers. Like any other new idea, it will take a while for taxi stands to earn their stripes in HCM City, and later on across the country.
