Further Discussion of Taxi Distribution

After the interviews, we have a rough concept of how this "Distorting Culture of Taxi" has happened. For a further discussion, it is necessary to know what the taxi distribution is. According what the taxi drivers said, it is found that most of taxi drivers like to wait for passengers in taxi station in casino, pier or airport after on-side and field research. 

These two maps are the taxi distribution in Macau, Taipa and Coloena. The cross symbol means there is a hot-pot where taxi drivers like to wait there. Those places are taxi stations at casinos, airport and piers. It is because most of passengers from mainland like to go between casino. Taxi drivers drive the mainland passengers from casino to another casino, and wait for other passengers there. They do not need to drive anywhere to wait for passenger. This will save him oil costs. Many taxi drivers wait at pier or airport, in order that they may earn more charges by passing through bridges for longer trip. The black bordered area is where the taxis always pass through. And the red bordered area is the old town. Actually, they rarely go into the red bordered area if not necessary. It is easy to catch in traffic jam there and the road there is narrow. These make taxi drivers or the one who drive to work be afraid.
