Taxi drivers yesterday showed grievance over the newly introduced regulation that request drivers to shut down idling engine while waiting. Under the regulation, drivers are given a three minutes "grace period" and they must turn the idling engine within the time-limit. For taxi section, the first five cabs in the taxi queue are exempted. Taxi drivers called for the government to amend the regulation that all cabs in taxi queue can be exempted, becuase turning off the engine will shut the air-condition down and the temperature inside cab can reach over 40 degree celsius under summer red-hot weather. They afraided that will drive customer out.
Authorities said they understanded all stake-holders' concerns and they would strike a balance and come a consensus.
