They are forbidden to change shifts or refuse to take passengers during the rush hours of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

“Cabbies refuse passengers because they have to turn their cabs over to the next drivers in time, otherwise they have to compensate the second drivers,” said Xu Chaojun, a day-shift driver of Xihu Taxi Service Co. “If I advance the time for shift change to 5 p.m., my night-shift partner will lose 100 yuan (US$14.7) a day. I’m not sure if he would agree to that.”
