The Kanto Transportation Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Transportation of Japan announced that it will adjust the taxi freight rates in the 23rd district of Tokyo ( Musashino city , Mitaka city ) from November 14, 2022.

The so-called adjustment is the main task of raising prices.

This is the price of taxis in Tokyo that has been adjusted again after 15 years since 2007 (Heisei 2019). The adjustment rate (required increase rate) is 14.24%. The adjusted price of

In the distance ticket price, the applicable scope of the starting ticket price has increased from 1.052 kilometers to 1.096 kilometers, and the additional range has increased from 233 meters to 255 meters.

is used in the time distance, 80 yen will be added every 1 minute and 25 seconds before, and 100 yen will be added every 1 minute and 35 seconds in the future.

It is reported that the reason for this price increase is that so far, taxi operators have been in order to improve the service quality and safety of taxis.

While introducing general design companies, taxi software and non-cash payment tools for necessary investments, taxi drivers have always served and worked seriously, judging from the current freight level, taxi companies are facing unsustainable operating conditions.

Some Chinese in Japan complained:

"The price rise is no longer enough. I went out to have a meal with my friends. Now I can't order food without 10,000 yen, and taxis are still rising. It seems that I can only go home on time at 12 a.m., which is just enough to save some expenses."

In the post-epidemic era, the Japanese taxi industry is facing the impact of the reduction in demand and the surge in fuel prices brought about by the epidemic.

This time, in addition to increasing driver wages and other measures that can improve the labor environment and reduce the burden of fuel costs, it will also promote the response to non-cash, that is, electronic payments.

Not only does the Chinese living in Japan feel the pressure of spending in all aspects, but Japanese locals also said it is very "difficult to bear":

Japanese netizens: Traveling depends on taxis, so it is very troubled, and prices rose in October are also troubled.

Some netizens also said: I don’t take a ride anyway, so it doesn’t matter if the price increases, but there are too many taxis on the road, which makes parking usually very troublesome, and I hope it can be reduced.

"Most people who often take taxis are rich, and there should be no problem with price increases."

Maybe we as taxpayers can't change anything, so we can only accept the adjustments obediently, don't take a taxi unless necessary, try to choose public transportation or walking...

Price increases, and Zuxinjun has also had enough~
