Earnings of taxi driver in Taipei

I spoke to two taxi drivers in Taipei.

They work hard and drive a taxi for 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. They earn an average of NT 50,000 a month (SGD 2,500) after deducting their expenses.

They used to earn more a few years ago. Business has reduced due to the slow economy and the opening of the MRT lines.

In spite of their difficult life, they are polite and helpful.
