Taximeter upgrading for fare rise

Listen

A technician adjusts a taximeter to change the base fare, distance and time to cope with new taxi fare, at a temporary service office at Seoul Grand Park in Gyeonggi Province, Monday. Seoul's base taxi fare rose to 3,800 won ($3.38) from 3,000 won starting Saturday, but many taximeters are yet to be modified. Drivers carry price charts to show the new fare to passengers. / Yonhap
